Designed in Minnesota for a client in San Francisco, built in Oregon, and shipped to Santa Rosa, CA 90% complete. The client, an architect himself and Apple’s Senior Design Director responsible for Apple Stores worldwide, was the project’s co-pilot with Geoffrey Warner, Alchemy’s principal architect.

Both structures feature 9 ft. tall sliding glass walls and ipe interiors with oiled oak cabinetry. The offset boxes are connected by a set of Alchemy-designed and built steel stairs and railings.

The 16 ft. x 40 ft., 640 SF primary box features a whitewashed oak bed box in the middle of the volume. A kitchen-dining-living room space is on one side, and a bath space on the other. For shipping logistics, the primary box was composed of two modules, one being the 10 ft. x 40 ft. porch. The porch module was bolted onto the main module onsite, and cantilevers into the site’s dramatic landscape.

The accompanying 330 SF guest house is an abridged version of the larger module with a large whitewashed oak wardrobe forming the bathroom wall. Both structures take advantage of the site’s expansive view.
