Sister V2
Custom HomesProject Highlights
The owners of this home, the second in a trio of energy-efficient infill homes, had chosen to downsize from their previous home and embrace a minimalistic lifestyle – without losing their sense of comfort or freedom of movement. We partnered with them to create a home that maximizes space on the narrow lot.
This modern home boasts an open interior with warm finishes (all low or no VOC-emitting, of course) and custom features such as a built-in dog area under the stairs with custom access to the outdoors. Outdoor living is maximized with private patios, and the kitchen windows open up to a bar on the back patio for entertaining ease. In addition to the ample outdoor living areas (including a rooftop deck), we added a bonus room above the garage.
