The birth of this project is the result of Kathy, a single woman who set about repairing and improving an inherited 820 s.f. house built in 1928. Nestled among mature Sycamore and Oak trees along the Silverado Creek, it is in an idyllic, rural environment. Age and the ravages of weather had taken their toll on the house.
Intent on rescuing her home she engaged the services of questionable “contractors” who failed to advise her the need for permits. A Notice of Violation issued by Code Enforcement. $105,000 for uncompleted work, plus an estimated $235,000 for code compliance, pointed to a $340,000 outlay.
The proposed 1,060 s.f. design with it’s open plan, site positioning, the revolutionary EDGE Building System, coupled with creative energy and environmental features satisfy the financial challenges. All while maintaing the idyllic, rural environment.
