| Location:
Jamul, CA |

| Synopsis:
One of the owner's major concerns was the materials used
in the structure. The building uses recycled and natural
materials, formaldehyde-free plywood, granite and poured-concrete
kitchen countertops, recycled steel framing, metal roofing
with water catchment, and tankless water heaters. It even
has salvaged doors and windows, of which most of the floor
plan was designed around. In addition, the conceptual
design was based on the time-honored book, A
Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction. |
