A new house built in 1977 over two levels (with a mezzanine above) and a garage to replace a 1940’s Bach at the end of its life.
Built of laminated timber posts and beams bolted together and a solid laminated timber floor to the first floor and the mezzanine such that the exterior walls were all non structural.
Experimental “kitset ‘prefabricated construction for a Client willing to consider alternative construction methods. A highly original plan and interior environment was made possible by the collective creative talents of the Owners who still live there today.
