3BR/2.5Ba
2800 sf living + 800 sf garage

Featured in the book, Prefabulous, by Sheri Koones, this panelaized house is built on concrete piers over water and features an open plan for
living and entertaining on the first floor and private quarters plus a roof
garden on the second floor. A small meditation tower on the third floor
commands views across the San Francisco Bay.

The plan is organized to maximize light and views with the kitchen and
master bath suite towards the morning sun and the living spaces and
roof garden oriented to the wind sheltered marina and the afternoon
light. The large two car garage was split and rotated 45 degrees to
reduce its visual impact and create an inviting entry court. The serated
roof over the master bedroom is rotated 45 degrees towards the south
to accommodate future photovoltaic panels.

While it incorporates complex spaces and custom details, the entire
house was panelized off site to save both time and money.
