The discovery of large boulders on the project site inspired an organic layout for the outdoor spaces. Originally planned with strict orthogonal structures, the use of rocks and boulders created a natural, flowing landscape for this hillside home. #architecture #construction #designbuild #design #ddb #designdrawbuild #pool #outdoors #oakland #eastbay #archdaily #residential #build #sustainability #customhomebuilder #custombuild #renovation #bayarea #modernarchitecture #landscape #peidmont #oakland #hills #boulders #site #newengland #colonial #sonoma #ranch?#intergenerational #sanfrancisco #landscaping #landscapingdesign #boulders?

Central to this home in the San Francisco Peninsula is a two story concrete wall with a row of skylights slicing through the length of the home and exposed glulam beams bridging across. #architecture #construction #design #designbuild #ddb #designdrawbuild #build #sun #glass #concrete #skylight #daylight #bright #energyefficient #bayarea #peninsula #sustainability #sanfrancisco #customhomebuilder #custombuild #modernarchitecture

Thank you to AIA California,?AIA Los Angeles, Southern California Edison (SCE), Pacific Gas and Electric Company, SoCalGas, California Energy Commission, California Architectural Foundation, ASHRAE San Jose Chapter, and the esteemed jury (Lance Collins, Paul Torcellini, and Allison Grace Williams FAIA) for recognizing the Design Draw Build’s Agualta STEAM Engine. We value the opportunity to participate in timely conversations regarding Los Angeles' wildfire and water resiliency.

Today, we are delighted to announce Design Draw Build won the top Honor Award from AIA California’s Architecture at Zero design competition. The illustrious Architecture at Zero competition, now in its thirteenth year, is AIA California, PG&E, Southern California Edison, SoCal Gas, and California Energy Commission’s premier energy focused design competition. The jury commended our project’s foresight and excellence in wildfire resiliency and water reuse. Design Draw Build’s design for Griffith STEAM Magnet Middle School creates an oasis of climate resilience and scholastic achievement within East Los Angeles’ historically underserved community. During increasingly common extreme weather events, the school is conceived of as a community emergency shelter and neighborhood-scale resource of power and water to help neighbors support each other through droughts, blackouts, and extreme heat events. A timely solution considering the devastation our fellow Californians have faced with the past month of wildfires. We revere the opportunity to participate in the crucial conversation on water resiliency in Los Angeles. Thank you to AIA California, AIA Los Angeles, Southern California Edison (SCE), Pacific Gas and Electric Company, SoCalGas, California Energy Commission, and the esteemed jury for recognizing the Design Draw Build’s Agualta STEAM Engine.

On this secluded and wooded site, the clients wanted to dramatically modernize the home through an extensive renovation and multiple additions. With many walls removed, a newly outfitted cathedral ceiling, and a fully outfitted chef’s kitchen we designed a space that mirrors the floor plan to blend indoor and outdoor spaces.
