SiteUrban, mountain tourist town3 minute walk to downtown Large lot under redevelopment pressure

TypeResidential, single familyOlympic ski racers with young family

StructureConventional wood frameBuilder: Greystone Construction

SoftwareSketchUp w/ Layout 2.0

Energy EfficiencySolar panels heat water, addition & basement

Abundant natural daylight

Challenges & OpportunitiesExisting entry opened directly onto living room, creating a drafty space lacking privacy

Early SketchUp Layout technology caused difficulty in expressing interior space and section views

Client originally intended to redevelop property within 10 years, resulting in a limited budget
