Under construction.

This tiny house near the Russian River has been an experiment. With dual mandates of excellent thermal performance and fire resiliency, the design developed through research in european concepts of high performance construction.

The core box of the house is made of 28 pre-fabricated cross laminated timber panels. To prevent air leakage, the entire form is wrapped in a vapor permeable membrane, which is then wrapped in a continuous 3” layer of Rockwool insulation, eliminating every possible thermal bridge. Final cladding will be steel standing seam and ipe. The exposed beams supporting the winged roof are treated with fire, hoping to achieve the performance of Shu Shugi Ban.

Inside the single room is designed to be simple, efficient and have all the comforts of a much larger home.
