LA FIRES
We are greatly saddened by the loss of life and property in LA!
COMPRESSED EARTH+MULTIFAMILY
TBE Architecture is working with Brian Jaffee of the California Cottage Company and Verdant Structural Engineers to prototype a multifamily development template utilizing Senate Bill 9 (SB9) – The California Home Act and Senate Bill 8 (SB8) – the Housing Crisis Act of 2019 to develop projects on existing lots that include a duplex with 2 ADUs that then can be eligible for a lot split. Another notable innovation that Brian is bringing to the project is Compressed Earth Blocks (CEBs). Brian manufactures the blocks locally at the companies’ facility in Rohnert Park.
THORNSBERRY RD. ADU + ART STUDIO
This 2BD/2BA 1200 SF ADU is located in a beautiful little valley over looking vineyards, east of downtown Sonoma. Located below the ADU is a 1200 SF Art Studio with half bath. Construction is scheduled for late 2023 or early 2024.
LAWNDALE RESIDENCE, ADU & SHOP
The structure, exterior finishes and insulation are all of non-combustible materials. Expansive openings bring in the views and fresh air while wrap around canopies control heat gain.
3729 DEAUVILLE PL – FIRE REBUILD
Our project brief was to create a new 4 bedroom home to replace a home destroyed in the 2017 wildfires. We chose to position the new home squarely on the surviving segment of old foundation, respecting footprint of the previous house.
The main living space offers a restrained, modern space that can flow in and out of doors, favoring a dramatic view across the valley to the west. The master suite also provides direct access to the rear deck, and supporting spaces are arrayed on the lower floor.
