This project is driven by the homeowners’ desire to create a beachside retreat with all the amenities needed by a family that loves to entertain. 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.
Many of Sander Architects’ trademark green strategies and materials employed in the construction of this residence will make will make the Hermosa Beach House a place to celebrate life and the earth on many levels.</description>

Designed for a hilltop overlooking an avocado farm, on a site with panoramic views, the house is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling curving glass walls. These are protected from solar exposure by the overhang of an undulating green roof that flows straight off the mountain-top. From above, the project roof will look like a meadow of native plants. From below, the low profile allows the house to blend into the hillside. At eye level, the glass walls, with their gentle undulating waves, make it clear that the interior has dramatic vistas from every room in the house.

This is a Hybrid House™ and the frame supporting the roof and walls is our Sander Architects specialty. 
Green strategies and materials will include: site orientation to maximize passive heating and cooling, natural daylighting, a green roof, super-insulation, recycled steel framing, grey-water irrigation, native plantings, sustainable building materials including flooring, cabinetry and insulation, low-VOC paint, Energy Star applicances, low-flush toilets and radiant heat with an on-demand water heater.</description>

Topanga is a neighborhood tucked into the hills between beach and valley and has historically been a haven for the forward-thinking—from the earliest settlers, to the hippies of the 60s, and to the artists and thinkers of modern Los Angeles. 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.

Green strategies and materials will include: site orientation to maximize passive heating and cooling, natural daylighting, a green roof, super-insulation, recycled steel framing, grey-water irrigation, native plantings, sustainable building materials including flooring, cabinetry and insulation, low-VOC paint, Energy Star applicances, low-flush toilets and radiant heat with an on-demand water heater.</description>

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.  Sander architects has completed Hybrid House projects from Oregon to Los Angeles to the West Indies.

&#60;img src="http://payload16.cargocollective.com/1/4/135961/2627994/whitbig_980.jpg" border="0" width="780" height="500" width_o="780" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload16.cargocollective.com/1/4/135961/2627994/whitbig_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="13300192" /&#62; I have a challenge to make.  It's time for prefabricated architecture to live up to its potential.  The prefabricated building should be measured by three completely reasonable yardsticks:

-  Economical cost to build and use
-  Sustainably created 
-  Superior design/aesthetic quality

Prefab designers and companies should be able to achieve results that satisfy these three requirements at once.   Especially given that the designers have, in theory, forever to improve their models.  Yet it's arguable that no prefabricated product now available has yet been able to satisfy all three criteria in the same structure.  Sadly, most achieve excellence in only one criterion.  

-  Prefab residences are at or (well) above standard construction costs in every section of the country.
   
-  Factories are not centrally located, for the most part, and require long distances of travel to most construction sites.  And the steel required by shipping stresses is often far greater than the house alone would require.

-  Aesthetically many prefab residential models are sufficient but hardly superior designs.
Into this unsettled landscape over the last ten years, Sander Architects has introduced our Hybrid Construction process.  This process, we believe, achieves excellence in all three criteria above.  To wit:
 
-  Our houses regularly cost under $200/SF. One, in rural Oregon, came in at $130/Sf.

-  The shells of these houses are created by light-gauge metal building fabricators using recycled steel.   SInce this technology is over a hundred years old, fabricators can be found near any likely building site across the country and in most of the developed world.

-  Our buildings have won the Dedalo MInosse International Prize for Architecture three times, various AIA awards, and the Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Prize.  They have also been extensively published in over thirty design-based books.  
In essence, we have solved the new technology riddle by leveraging the efficiencies of one of the oldest and most mature industries in the world.  This circumvents the achilles heel of most prefabricated endeavors: startup and tooling costs.  These companies are ready to provide buildings of any size or orientation, provided one knows and understands the nature of these elegant, simple structures.  We may draw beautiful structures with our iMACs, but we fully embrace the century-old technology of the prefabricated, light-gauge metal building.   Why mess with a good thing?

Sander Architects, LLC has been designing and building contemporary projects for two decades. We are an award-winning firm with a strong reputation for green design.
 
In building a community of like-minded folk, whether in the profession or just passionate about modern / green architecture, we have made a point to lecture, present, jury student projects, participate in trade shows and publish our work in architecture blogs, books and journals.
 
This blog gives us a chance for a slightly more personal take on what we do, why do we do it, who we are, what makes us different and how to have fun while slaving away over a computer.
 
You will hear from the Principal Architect, the Director of Interior Design, our Associates, our Interns.
 
Some potential topics you might see addressed here:
 
- prefab, it's promises, its failures, the hope for the future
- green design: the imperative for future designers of all stripes to be not only conversant but be experts
- designing the steel house - how to make a metal home
- designing for the client who is not a gazillionaire (technical term). We've built a practice that has had staying power through the downturn by working with clients who have restricted budgets. It's a different discipline that working with unlimited budgets.
- how to survive the economy - what do clients want?
- how to design an award-winning project and make it work with a willing client

&#60;img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/135961/1963492/adamBIG_980.jpg" border="0" width="780" height="585" width_o="780" height_o="585" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/4/135961/1963492/adamBIG_o.jpg" align="left" data-mid="13292423" /&#62; I came into Sander Architects the summer of 2009 after my fourth year of Architecture school in San Luis Obispo.  I built models in the office all summer and up at school for a few months as well.  I was called back in to do some part-time modeling around March, 2011, and I’ve stayed on as a draftsperson and project manager ever since.  Here are my tips for turning my internship into a full time gig.
 
1. Be Good
 
When you come into an office for an internship, you will probably not be doing the most glamorous work, but whatever task comes your way, make sure you knock it out of the park.  In my case, I was building models.  It’s certainly not everyone’s favorite, but I think it’s kind of fun to see how drawings come to life three dimensionally.  I worked my butt off building a myriad of models, and I did a great job.  (I built hundreds of tiny seats for the concert hall, just to give you an idea.)  My work early on got me called back into the office later.  If you show your ability to excel at one thing, it gives people a reason to believe you’ll be great in other areas, as well.
 
2. Stay In Touch
 
Even though my internship ended around November, I was always sure to keep in touch.  I would come back into the office every time I came home from school.  After graduation, I hoped I would have a job waiting for me, but there wasn’t a spot for me in the office.  I still maintained contact with Whitney and Cath, checking in every few months, enough to stay on their radar without bugging the hell out of them.  When they needed some models built, I was the guy.  Then, a spot in the office opened up and I transitioned into full time.  It was about 18 months between the end of my first internship and the beginning of my full time job, and if I hadn’t kept myself in the loop at that time, I might not be where I am today.
 
3. Be Ready
 
Before I came back into the office I was working part time coaching volleyball and doing odd jobs.  I kept my design skills sharp, working on T-shirts and keeping up to date with architecture blogs and competitions.  I also learned the office’s drafting software, so I was able to assimilate easily when a job was available.

It’s all part of a philosophy that does not like to take anything for granted. We like to design interior fixtures and fittings, we like to design exterior surfaces.

When it came to our project, Green Houses, we worked through dozens of iterations of the original idea: a wrapping of bar grate over grey-green concrete board.

The skin, we worried, would feel like a prison cell if it were vertical and it didn’t make sense when we tried horizontal bar grate.

After months of raging debates, Whitney hit on the idea of creating a skin from 1" x 2" aluminum pieces. After many sketches, he settled on a 12 degree angle and went to work detailing how to attach them to the building.

That was the easy part.

How to turn the corner?

Our foreman Bugsy (Dale Everett) loves a good challenge and he made multiple samples of how the aluminum might be welded together.
In the end, everyone preferred Whitney’s first suggestion to place the pieces in relationship to one another without creating an attachment between them.

Here are the results.
