The one-story white cube contains the living room; its flat roof is finished as a deck for the second floor.
Strategically placed windows and glass walls admit plenty of light without compromising the thermal envelope. The compact floor plan features a small office at the top of the stairs.
Doors and windows are trimmed in factory-finished fiber-cement board. The house hugs the property line, allowing for future expansion on the 50-foot-wide lot.
LED lighting is used throughout. Though expensive, it was one-third the cost of generating incandescent power on-site.
Designed to be attached or detached, the two-car garage sits to the left of the two-volume house and holds the solar equipment.
