Marrying Elegant Design & Sustainability

Julie Moir Messervy Design Studio (JMMDS)

The “handrill” of Corten steel follows the peastone and steel steps down a steep slope to pour into a round basin, emptying into a channel that meanders through the narrow back garden at ground level, ending finally in a boulder fountain. Devised to minimize root disturbance for the tall existing pines on the property, the continuous Corten steel structure is supported by concrete tubes rather than a foundation that would have required extensive excavation.

Mid Century Modern Green Restoration

Kipnis Architecture + Planning

The exterior cedar sheathing and all of the existing windows were removed and replace with a continuous layer of 2" of foam board insulation. New windows were installed, with specific Solar Heat Gain Factors selected for each orientation. Marvin Integrity units were used which are clad with pultruded fiberglass on the exterior and wood on the interior, stained to match the existing interior wood trim. Boral ‘TrueExterior’ jamb extensions and exterior trim, made from waste fly ash from the coal industry, was used to address the thickened exterior sheathing. New cement fiberboard siding was installed on the majority of the facade, with a section of 8” exposure beveled cedar which ‘wraps’ around the two story massing on a portion of the east, all of the north and a portion of the west façades. This cedar siding was projected out 1” beyond the cement fiberboard and was redwood colored to highlight this element. The 8” beveled material was used in respect of the original cedar that was removed, and was aligned with the bottom of the three horizontally oriented original windows at the 2nd floor. These windows looked out of place with their horizontal orientation and the fact that there was a very large blank wall area below them. The top edge of the new cedar siding provides a ‘ledge’ for these windows to sit on. Kipnis Architecture + Planning
