Once an unsalvageable 1906 shack that had only front and side yards, the latest design creation of John Mills Davies of Marrokal Design & Remodeling is now a modernist bungalow equipped with a multi-use patio, casual outdoor theatre, and eco-friendly features. The cast-in-place concrete slabs take space efficiency to a new level as they serve as a versatile patio, dog run, and triple-deep off-street parking. In the summer, the side yard is used to project images on the east façade of the house, creating a carefree and relaxed environment for movie watching.

ASID Winner: Specialty Design — Green

John Mills Davies recently won the ASID for Specialty Design. An excerpt from the award comments is below, but read the full report here.

Bamboo flooring, Caesar Stone and Terrazzo were brought in for solid surfaces, and all of the home’s cabinetry was custom designed and built using FSC-certified or eco-wood products. Dual pane energy efficient windows, tankless water heaters and no-VOC paint selections complete the home’s green infrastructure. Strategically placed central skylights provide the residence with stunning natural lighting while simultaneously acting as thermal chimneys to either warm or cool the home. The landscaping was designed to provide drought resistant and energy efficient outdoor living, keeping in theme with the home’s environmentally conscious roots.
