Modern Minimalist

Initially, extensive demolition of existing structures involved the careful removal of all materials for subsequent recycling and re-use. Just the lumber from the house, pole barn and garage filled three trailers and was trucked to Mexico where it was donated for re-use. Cabinets, appliances, windows, doors, etc., were donated to Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore and were readily sold to benefit the organization. All of this cleared the way for this modern, minimalist-styled residence with horizontal tongue-and-groove cedar siding, large expanses of glazing and 1,500 square feet of living roof. Electricity needs are supplied via 1,800 square feet of photovoltaic panels for a net-zero goal. A guesthouse, pool house, garage and lap pool with a 6-ton dive rock completed the project.
