Posted in Design Projects, tagged , , , on April 3, 2024| Leave a Comment »

The clients sent me these photos from their recent visit to the project.

Im excited about the vaulted ceiling and the transition to the flat ceiling beyond. High south facing windows to the left are still covered in plywood
This photo is looking back towards the entry (Defined by four 6×6 fir posts) and the kitchen (vaulted ceiling)
Another shot of the kitchen (high windows covered)

The view to the south is hard to beat!

More Framing shots – A new All electric ADU in North Berkeley

Posted in Design Projects, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , on June 18, 2019| Leave a Comment »

McBride Construction (and others…foundation by Caliber Structural and rough plumbing by Braco Plumbing) have this 484 SF ADU well on its way . It’s nice to see it take form. You can’t see one green innovation that is hidden under the slab. Instead of rigid foam insulation we used rigid rockwool. Concrete is high volume flyash. The framing lumber is FSC certified. The building will get a blower door test and it must meet a high standard for air tightness. (You can still open the window or turn on the ERV for fresh air, but your air won’t be trickling in through dusty cracks and crevices) Stay tuned for more. .

Finally Some Framing Underway

Posted in Design Projects, tagged , , , , on May 22, 2015| 1 Comment »

I am excited to see this backyard studio take shape. Happy to have a skillful framer and a pile of kiln dried FSC certified lumber.  I stopped by just in time to help lift that big beam into place. A challenging job for a solo framer.
