Island Nest
the Story
This house was designed for a real estate agent’s family. We had some great views to work with, but we had to go up one floor to get it. We thought it would be perfect for an outdoor covered deck. The clients wanted a modern home with large panels. We used large panels and incorporated some cedar siding. On the bedroom wing of the house, we created a waterfall detail with the metal roofing. For this home we incorporated some high performance strategies using high quality air barriers, rain screens, and durable materials. We also worked with the structural engineers to create great thermal break details at the cantilevered decks and awnings. This home will perform great and last a long time.
