CODA HOUSE
After inheriting his childhood home, the owner and his partner wanted to make it their own - updating the 1950s ranch house to a warmer, modern layout. A new primary suite wing was added, wrapping around a new outdoor dining patio next to the existing pool. The suite features expansive cathedral ceilings and large windows and doors opening into the back yard. The front entry was redesigned, blending the mid-century ranch home with the modern style of the renovation.
The remodel and addition were designed to significantly improve the environmental sustainability and efficiency of the home. Focus was placed both on upgrading the passive and active systems of the home. The building envelope was highly insulated and a greywater capture and reuse system was installed, reducing water usage in concert with drought-tolerant landscaping. These improvements were paired with a new photovoltaic solar array, and upgrade HVAC system to reduce the home’s dependence on the energy grid.
