Residential Remodel
The owners originally intended to renovate the existing 1960’s era home on this property. Unfortunately, every builder they interviewed told them to tear it down. While exploring their options, they came upon the “Sunset Breezehouse” – a modular, prefabricated design. The Breezehouse is centered around a site-built glass-enclosed breezeway – the BreezeSpace – which “lets the green in” to the main living and dining areas, blurring the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. Decks at the front and rear of the home further integrate nature and living. Naturalistic landscaping incorporates local and site-found materials to seamlessly blend the home to the land and the larger setting. The home meets the Energy Star program standards for energy efficient homes and the performance standards of the American Lung Association’s Healthy House program.
