This is an example of a transitional front yard landscaping in San Francisco.

A private children’s foundation hired award-winning architecture firm, Christoff : Finio Architects, to renovate and remodel the classical-style townhouse structure into a modern and light-filled headquarters. Christoff : Finio contacted Hans to develop a planting plan for the intimate, rear courtyard gardens as well as a planting scheme for the front tree bed. We carefully selected plant material that could thrive in an extremely low-light environment while providing seasonal interest and color as a counterpoint to the modern interior. Herbaceous flowering and evergreen plants were selected to drift through each other with intermittent vertical accents, creating a lush courtyard border.

Maple Plywood custom cabinetry painted a beautiful grey with a stunning chandelier and brass hardware accents. The upper cabinets all enclosed behind solid panel doors to keep things clean and organized.

This project required extremely low maintenance and energy efficiency. Use of Solid Green Systems roof and wall panels provide superior insulation for heating, cooling and sound, reducing the need for energy by 50% or more. This 2,000+ square foot home boasts energy bills less than $50 monthly with no additional energy enhancements. Panel system is also mold resistant, pest resistant and fire resistant.

Sited on a large parcel with great exposure in Price Valley (just north of McCall), this home was designed to maximize it’s passive solar heating potential. The roof overhangs and glazing were designed with 3D modeling software. The intent was to capture as much direct sunlight as possible during the winter months (when the sun is low on the horizon) and block the solar gain during summer months (when it is higher in the skyline). The home utilizes a double stud wall framing system to allow for greater insulation values in the wall and minimizes thermal conduction through the framing members. As the old adage goes, the key to any good passive design is an active owner and these particular owners have done their homework on passive design. They actively manage the operable portions of the home (such as the insulated window coverings, wood stove, and windows) and have reported extremely low energy bills.
