Inspired by farmhouses and the industrial heritage of the site (a redeveloped former Air Force base), this home’s exposed steel posts and lintels add interest while avoiding a warehouse look. The project attained a HERS rating of 40, unusual for production housing in the region, says Steve James, principal at DTJ Design. A 30-foot-wide footprint lets abundant natural light into this courtyard home, with offset corner windows and frosted glass and high-set windows to ensure privacy.
While keeping an open floor plan, “rooms are defined with framed-out openings to appeal to those who like traditional design,” says James. Gables and shed roof elements, familiar forms, create an engaging street scene with warmth and charm.
