The main object for this design is expanding the old house, which can’t met the family growing, by place second story above a largely remodeled main living level all of which is constructed upon the existing foundation.
A cedar-clad wood wall defines two distinct areas of the home with habitable rooms on one side and services on the other so that can be a singular open volume. Slide-fold doors that fully open both ends of this living space to the outdoors is used to buffering interior and exterior.
Taking advantage of good south facing exposure on this site, the new home will utilize both photovoltaic solar panels for electrical generation and a solar hot water heating system to supplement a gas fired radiant heat system.
Major materials include painted cement fiber siding, tight knot cedar plank feature wall, plywood soffits, aluminum windows and Zincalume sheet metal roofing.
