This extensive renovation designed by Eric Rawlings, AIA, LEED AP and built by Arlene Dean, completely transforms the look of the original structure. The main source of inspiration for the new design came from Greene & Greene’s Gamble House, which is considered by many as the pinnacle of the original turn of the century Craftsman Style Homes. Distinctive features from that style include the use of exposed timber framing, low pitched roof forms with large overhangs, gangs of windows, and extensive built-in furniture. The Living Room and Kitchen are open to one another and portions of the timber structure are exposed and integrated into the built-in elements. Photos by Eric Rawlings, AIA, LEEP AP.

Roof overhangs were eliminated, which saved expense and brought a crisp, modern appearance to a traditional form, allowing for very careful exterior sealing of roof-to-wall intersections. In lieu of roof overhangs, low pitched, steel roofed canopies provide cover to areas that require it, creating useful outdoor space and breaking up the simple form of the house. The siding and trim are made from inexpensive but long-lasting Maine-milled White Cedar, installed in a reverse board and batten style which allows drainage and airflow behind the boards to extend their life. The siding was also left unfinished to weather to a silver grey, reducing cost, ecological footprint, and the need for future maintenance that paint or solid stain would incur. Exterior and interior surfaces (unfinished wood, galvanized steel, unfinished concrete) were selected to be durable and low-maintenance, minimizing the long term operating costs and future ecological impact of the house.

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.
