This Hard Hat Tour showcases the in-progress construction of an 800sf all-electric single-family residence located on an undeveloped property in the foothills of Carpinteria. The property owners, an active, young professional couple, desired a sustainable, all-electric home design that suited their lifestyle and responded to the natural features of the site. NMA Architects developed a master-plan for the property – one that incorporates the future development of a larger residence and pool in addition to the smaller residence currently under construction. The small stand-alone residence is intended to easily convert to a legal guest house in the future, but keeping in mind the livability of a full-time residence in the shorter term. The home is designed using simple forms, creating spaces that live larger than their dimensional footprint, and that respond to the natural site topography. Generous outdoor spaces conducive to the indoor-outdoor lifestyle expand the living areas. A simple and natural finish material palette is used to blend with the natural environment.
Bring a hard hat, sturdy shoes for uneven footing, it is an active project site.
Parking is limited onsite and there is little street parking. As a result, CARPOOLING IS ENCOURAGED. Allen staff will be on hand to direct stacked parking on site.
Registration required.
