I knew from our first meeting that Ken and Cheryl Serdar were going to be cool clients. They are transplants from Houston Texas, and the first meeting had them each driving a tiny Smart car all the way up the hill to my studio.
​
Cheryl is a jewelry designer and has tons of innate style - she came in with platform stilettos! They selected one of my Micropolis house plans and we customized it for them, as I do with most of these. They chose the “Happy Family” design which seems to be a popular one. We enlarged it from 950 heated SF to 2222 heated SF so that it would fit a large spa like bathroom and Cheryl’s jewelry office.
​
Their house is cutting edge, kind of like Cheryl herself, with her pink hair and awesome self designed jewelry. It goes beyond NET ZERO into NET POSITIVE, has a large scale Industrial fan from the Big Ass Fan Co., cat steps that rise up the wall to create a “cat walk” 12’ above the ground, a jewelry display office for Cheryl’s work, a special “shoe display” closet for Cheryl’s incredible designer shoe collection.
​
It exemplifies my philosophy that building smaller and smarter lets you put your money into things that matter to you more. In this case, huge windows, an incredible spa bathroom and a special shoe closet!
