The house is a celebration of natural and salvaged materials, and quirky artifacts from Alchemy’s other work. The loft-like finishes are both economical and durable, and, when paired with hand-crafted lighting and furnishings, lend vibrancy to an otherwise blank white slate.
A five-kilowatt solar array on the roof covers all of the house’s annual electrical needs, while a xeriscaped landscape — lush and low maintenance — requires little watering and no mowing. Combined with reuse strategies, real materials are left raw or feature natural finishes leading to a low carbon and low(er) cost approach to urban revitalization.
