This is one of those homes that have two value ads with it. It is an Earth Advantage green build and it is thought through from an aesthetic point of view. Built by Oliver Olson of Olson Design Build This house is on the market for $799,000. The main house has 3 bedrooms up and 2 baths, and a half bath on the main. The ADU has one bath and one loft bedroom.
The second piece is what I am more focused on today. Aesthetics are clearly important to this builder. Strong geometric forms are reinforced by the finish choices. The eaves of the roof pass through the house and are articulated in the wood finish on the ceiling of the interior public space. The overhangs also serve a practical function of protecting the building and keeping the rain away from the walls and foundation.
One thing I quite enjoyed about the finish choices is that they were placed to really define a space or a transition from one space to another. A nice example of this is the way the outdoor back yard area is made through the red pavers. They are not used to provide the path to the ADU which is nestled in the back of the house with a good degree of privacy. The Adu is very well done with lots of light and privacy.
