Retirement, and the need for a dedicated home office, prompted this Mountain Brook couple to engage in a remodel of their detached apartment-garage. This was the couple’s second remodel with Oak Alley. Inside, the work focused on transforming and updating the old storage area into a practical office space for the homeowner and separate laundry area for the upstairs tenant. Rot was discovered and removed. New stud walls were constructed. The room was insulated with foam, and ductwork was connected to the existing HVAC unit to provide climate control. The wiring was replaced, and outlets installed. The walls and suspended ceiling system were finished in gypsum wallboard to give a clean look. To separate the laundry, HVAC system, and water heater from the office area, we installed frosted glass doors to provide access while retaining the natural light. LED lights throughout the room provide abundant brightness. The original concrete floor was stained and left visible. Outside, the rotten and aged wood siding was removed entirely. Where water had flowed for years, copious amounts of rot were cut away. The structure was wrapped using Zip System sheathing. Allura ColorMax 7.25” smooth lap siding and ColorMax trim were used on the exterior. Excluding a few newer windows at the rear, all windows were replaced with insulated, vinyl, Low-E windows with grills. Aluminum gutters and downspouts were installed. Sherwin Williams “Aurora Brown,” was found to blend with the color of the main house’s bricks and shingle siding, bringing the exterior color as close as possible to the original color. Cedar braced awnings with cedar shingles dressed each entryway, finishing the structure in style, blending it perfectly with the existing house.

Our inspiration for this home was an updated and refined approach to Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Prairie-style”; one that responds well to the harsh Central Texas heat. By DESIGN we achieved soft balanced and glare-free daylighting, comfortable temperatures via passive solar control measures, energy efficiency without reliance on maintenance-intensive Green “gizmos” and lower exterior maintenance. The client’s desire for a healthy, comfortable and fun home to raise a young family and to accommodate extended visitor stays, while being environmentally responsible through “high performance” building attributes, was met. Harmonious response to the site’s micro-climate, excellent Indoor Air Quality, enhanced natural ventilation strategies, and an elegant bug-free semi-outdoor “living room” that connects one to the outdoors are a few examples of the architect’s approach to Green by Design that results in a home that exceeds the expectations of its owners.

Blank and Cables wanted to create not only a futuristic and modern aesthetic throughout this San Francisco Penthouse, but we also wanted to include the smooth and effortless features associated with space age design. Throughout the home, LED light fixtures allow for controlled color and ambiance; the living room houses a sliding couch that tucks away into an airplane inspired aluminium fuselage with pivoting windows that reveal the master bedroom; and transparent steps provide a clear view of the daunting heights below. This modern, space age penthouse is truly a one-of-a-kind interior landscape with all the bells and whistles to match one of this millennia's finest designs. Todd Roberts

The tub is removed as well as the wall and doorway. The toilet was moved about 15" to open the area. We installed a seat and a sturdy grab bar. The hand held shower is convenient to the seat as is the control. The toilet paper holder was integrated into the glass partition. Photo by Brian J. McGarry

The house is clad with aluminum Longboard™ siding, smooth stucco, concrete and a modern metal pitched roof-line. The 4 ft foundation and 10 ft walls provide exceptional soundproofing and insulation; unusual in single-family, insulated concrete formed ICF-construction. The remote-control driveway gate, cameras, and long sightlines appeal to the client’s strong desire for privacy. Shades are installed instead of blinds so the client can see out, without others seeing in. The landscape is low-maintenance with 3 ft high boulders, drought-tolerant plants, and a manageable single lawn-area. Aluminum Longboard™ siding, hidden gutter system, longboard cladding soffits.
