A lightbulb is prefab. The term causes confusion in the context of prefab homes because it has become catch-all that can encompass many approaches. For example, prefab could be a module (or glorified trailer home) manufactured offsite and towed to your site. It could be a home manufactured offsite in panels that then get shipped to your site where they are snapped together. For the Hybrid House we use established steel frame manufacturers to produce the frame, or bones, of your house offsite. These then arrive at your site on a flatbed truck and fit together like an erector set. Since we are able to take advantage of long-standing cost competitiveness in the industry, our system provides you with extraordinary savings and allows a budget of any size to go much further. Right now, other systems still need to ramp up their volume to the point where these kind of savings will be possible. What does the word "custom" mean? Other prefab methods take advantage of the potential time savings of prefab but create great limitations in design. Our system, because it is a hybrid, allows us to use the word "custom" in a way that does not merely mean you get a choice in how many modules to plug together, or, as the term has come to mean, in a choice of flooring or a countertop. None of our projecs resembles any other. We have done a house, for example, with a great room that has a thirty foot ceiling--an impossibility in other systems. Even more exciting, this was for a first home with an extremely tight budget. We have also designed and built many of our projects on steep hillsides, which is difficult or impossible with other systems. Why is prefab considered eco-friendly? Prefab has the added benefit of being eco-friendly, as offsite fabrication reduces wasted material, as well as reducing waste energy in fabrication. A large part of our practice is devoted to implementing and researching green materials and environmentally-friendly design. We start with the Hybrid House and continue with every detail it takes to finish your home. We have designed part prefab, all custom homes in every budget range, from urban homes to 10,000 sf country retreats.* The key is that you will get a custom home designed for you using prefab components. Whether you hope to create your first home, or you want to take the finishes of a high-end residence to a whole new level we only ask that you come to us with a passion for modern design. *2,000 sf minimum: our system begins to realize its substantial savings at this size. hybrid house what makes us different? what is prefab? design process hybrid house projectsPrefab is anything that is manufactured off-site and shipped in.

Within this sensual realm, we adapt materials from conventional and unconventional sources and apply them in new liberating ways. Hybrid House is one result of this design process. What we love about the part prefab, all custom approach to prefab is that this will be YOUR house, designed exclusively for you. You might be a foodie and dream of an open-plan kitchen, have a fashion collection that is begging for extra-large walk-in closets, or own more cars than the average bear: the point is that no two clients are the same and we love to work with the individuals who come to us to design their home. Once we have signed a contract, there are four basic phases: Schematic design: what that means is that we begin with a series of meetings to clarify your needs and produce rough sketches and models--and these will solidify into a specific design for your home. Design development: by the end of design development, you will have a set of planning/ zoning documents which we help to shepherd through the city or district in which your house will be built. Construction documents: this phase is very much what it sounds like: the plans become a working set that a contractor will use to build your home. We also help you to select the contractor you will work with. Construction observation: since we believe that design is an art, it's very important to make sure that the vision produced during design is what the contractor builds for you--so we participate right up to the moment that you are ready to turn the key in the front door of your new home. hybrid house what makes us different? what is prefab? design process hybrid house projectsBased in Southern California, Sander Architects has built a reputation for... http://www.sander-architects.com/hybrid-house-projects http://www.sander-architects.com/following/sander-architects.com/hybrid-house-projects Fri, 19 Apr 2013 16:02:30 +0000 Sander Architects 1938999 .project_thumb { display: none !important; }#menu_1796223 a {color: #ff6600;}<img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/135961/1938999/Hybrid4_980.jpg" width="980" height="400" width_o="980" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/135961/1938999/Hybrid4_o.jpg" data-mid="13778910" border="0" align="left"/> hybrid house what makes us different? what is prefab? design process hybrid house projects:Because of the ubiquity of butler building technology, hybrid houses can be built almost anywhere.

This house is designed for a parcel that sits in a saddle above the town center, with views up and down the canyon and to the magnificent mountain peaks on either side. The client is a man who could be called a visionary. Certainly, his hopes for this project are to create an environmentally-friendly, high-design home that takes full advantage of the incredible site and still falls within a very reasonable budget. That is the kind of challenge that is tailor-made for the Sander Architects Hybrid House™. A double-height space in the center of the great room creates a modernist “cathedral of the mountains” and takes glorious advantage of the views. From the interior, the pop-out windows frame the landscape creating the feeling of living art. On the upper level, a bridge spans the double-height space and crosses from the office/bedrooms to the master suite.

Take into consideration that this is a place where a daytime trip to the beach is just as likely as sunset cocktails and the mix desired is a relaxed sophistication. Indeed, this project could easily have been called “Play House” for the light-hearted living to be contained within its walls. We have loved imagining all the places that might be perfect for a nap, or a party, for that matter. It all begins with the entrance across a Zen meditation garden that will capture the onshore breezes and wrap around the side of the house. At the rear of the lot, a swimming pool stretches from side-to-side and opens to the main level. A wall of sliding doors opens most of this level and creates a flow from the front living room, through the kitchen and eating areas, out to the side yard and rear pool for seamless indoor/outdoor living. Double-height spaces open the living room and dining room to soaring ceilings. A raised mezzanine will be a retreat for the clients to catch a game on the television or to watch the sun lower over the ocean.

Perched at 6100 feet on the first ridge of the San Bernadino mountains, the views stretch across the valley to the Coastal Range hundreds of miles away. The site is a challenge: well treed, with a 200' Jeffrey Pine as well as a mixture of evergreens, oaks and manzanita, there are two main outcroppings of rock that both call to be addressed by the siting of the house. This is compoiunded by the fact that the driveway approaches from the back of the ridge and gives no warning of the coming panorama. The response is to create an approach, enclosed by a "sky fence" -- an overhead fence or screen that curves gently through the trees -- to encourage focus on the small scale landscape that is both overhead and beneath the visitor's feet. After walking up through the plants and trees the entrance into the main house is from the back, past a group of boulders enclosed within the house and then, finally into a glass-walled great room that maximizes the sweeping views. A small translucent cube, suspended above the parking at the other end of the sky fence, functions as an art studio or guest cabin. Its location near the second outcropping of boulders creates a relationship with them. This, with the long c-shaped curve of the sky fence links both outcrops of rock on the site.

The building site itself is in a low bowl at the base of a mountain, its upper edge limited where the rise exceeds 15% due to risk of avalanches. There are two main views: up a canyon to one side and to a nearby mountain range on the other. That said, there are essentially 360 degree views. This is a second home for the clients and their needs include plenty of room for guests, parking for at least four cars, lots of storage for summer/winter sports equipment, a great room to function as a crossroads/gathering place, a computer room where the family can spend informal time together and a private wing for the family. The x-layout allows the central great room to have access to both of the key views and creates four main wings: one each for guests, parents, children and the last for common space (dining room, kitchen.) 13,750 sf total finished project.
