The house is designed to make the border between indoor and outdoor transparent.  Windows are designed to save energy like other energy-efficient appliances in the house.  The house’s exterior is made of cedar and steel cladding with custom-fabricated metal roof. The surrounding landscape features drought-resistant grasses and plants, thus conserving water. The kitchen/great room wing and bedroom wing, linked at the main entry and by the courtyard deck, provide multiple accesses to the deck.  The roof is designed to collect rain water. Modular construction helps to cut construction budget. Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there’s more to Fresh Atmosphere and Comfortable at The House’s Exterior than you may have first thought.
