This two-story, 3,410 square foot custom residence was designed to harmonize structural resilience with architectural elegance. Located on expansive soils, the home sits on a post-tensioned slab foundation system engineered to meet the geotechnical demands of the site. The primary structure is comprised of wood-framed walls, clad with a combination of corrugated steel siding and wood rainscreen siding, supporting manufactured trusses on the roof level and I-joists on the floor level, which balances aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability to create a structurally robust envelope. A 520 square foot attached garage, a 221 square foot utility area, and dedicated mechanical, electrical, and storage rooms are integrated into the home’s layout, supporting both form and function.
Outdoor features include an 11 foot by 46 foot shotcrete pool, framed by terraced planting beds to eliminate the need for guardrails, and a bocce court. Grading and foundation design allow for conventional slab-on-grade flatwork at the exterior patio as all site components are planned with both engineering efficiency and landscape integration in mind. This project reflects a thoughtful convergence of structural innovation, site-specific design, and modern residential aesthetics.
