Project Type:             New Construction                        

​

PROJECT BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES

D and J bought a property in the Crestwood neighborhood with dreams of building a net zero home to fit their family's needs. They would like a 3 bedroom 3/3.5 bath home with an office that doubles a guest bedroom when family is in town. The home must accommodate a large kitchen, a walk-in pantry, a dining room for 8-10 people. In addition to main the residence, they would like an ADU. The ADU should be designed with aging in place in mind. It must include a bedroom, bathroom, living space, small kitchen, and washer dryer combo. The master plan should consider covered parking, pool, landscape, covered porch between guest house and main house.

​

DESIGN GOALS BY PRIORITY

  • The main residence should have 4 bedrooms 3-3.5 bath with an office that doubles as a guest bedroom and ideally be a net zero home.

  • Guest House/ ADU should have 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, a small kitchen and living space.

  • Covered Parking, does not have to be a garage.

  • Site design to include a possible pool location and landscape concept. 

​

PROJECT DELIVERABLES: WHAT’S IN?

  • New residence and ADU with CLT construction.

  • New water meter.

  • A covered porch that connects the ADU and main house.

  • Carport for 1 vehicle in option B 

  • New driveway and apron.

​​

OPTIONAL UPGRADES

  • Prefinished wood floors for the main house and ADU

  • Heated floors in the primary bathroom.

  • Remove 15' side yard access to accommodate a larger courtyard in option B.

  • Upgrade to metal cladding +/- 85k.

​

PROJECT EXCLUSIONS: WHAT'S OUT?

  • Solar Panels design and installation

  • Pool Management and Construction

  • Landscape Design and Construction

  • Moontower Design Services 

  • Consultant Services (structural, geotechnical, mechanical, etc)

  • Regulatory Fees (permitting, sidewalk fee in lieu, etc)

​

PROJECT CONSTRAINTS:

  • CLT construction requires heavy duty machinery and it is ideal to have 15' side yard access for panel installation.

  • Current pricing reflects a pier and beam foundation, where the CLT floor panels must be 18" above grade for termite control. This in turn will require step to the house and a longer visitability ramp.

​​

PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS: 

The existing water tap is located on the property line and will need to be relocated.

Waste water line is touching the property line and is not in a CRZ of a protected tree. Therefore, it will not need to be relocated.

Soil is in good condition and will be able to use helical steel piers for the foundation.

​

SCOPE ASSUMPTIONS:

  • Cork is the exterior finish and insulation for the walls and floor. Wood fiber board to be used at the roof.

  • Roof finish is standing seam metal.

  • Cabinetry is semi custom paint grade.

  • Exterior and interior finishes don't require sealing or paint.

  • Entry level triple pane windows.

  • Interior walls, floors, and ceiling finish to be CLT.

  • Tile installed at shower floors and walls only.

  • No base boards needed. Jamb extensions at windows and doors.

  • Richlite countertops and backsplashes at the kitchen and bathrooms.
