There are two garages on this house, and both of them are disconnected from the main house (because this is a LEED Gold or better house, final paperwork has not been completed). It isn’t an issue now, but it could be in the future so this has been a consideration since the earliest design schemes were presented.

Despite the fact that we are going to seek LEED for Homes certification for our project (where deconstruction is preferable to demolition), there are benefits to every residential home owner who is planning on building a new house on a site where a house currently exists. A proper Design process that you follow or that must be followed.

Micro apartments are designed to be space-efficient as well as LEED certified or energy efficient. They are designed so that they feel bigger and more open than their actual square footage. Even if you live in a larger space, the design and lay out of these tiny spaces can still provide inspiration.

Our owner is crazy awesome in that he really cares about the design process and keeps asking questions that pushes the design and invariably causes changes. In addition, we made the deck both bigger AND smaller at the same time (that’s the kind of architectural magic we perform at my office).

The entire rear elevation is floor-to-ceiling glass – very expansive views were always an important consideration in the design of the house. We are aiming for this house to achieve a LEED Gold rating – which would be pretty cool. Moving around the rear yard looking back towards the house. 45 oz/square foot on each side.
