Sustainable Residence in California by Bluesky Home LLC and Lance O’Donnell

January 13, 2011 Filed Under: Homes Design

The official description about this house: The 1,000 square feet house with 340 square feet of outdoor deck is positioned above the site surface on moment-resisting columns and beams of cold-formed, light gauge steel. The building envelope is composed by a grid of pre-manufactured Steel Thermal Efficient Panels and standardized building components. The bathroom module, containing all home mechanical, plumbing, and electrical services, is built off-site and delivered finished with the flat packed kit-of parts. Interiors are defined by the placement of storage cabinetry, eliminating interior framed walls. Solar technologies provide electricity, hot water and space heating. The flat packed building components minimize transportation volume and promote sustainability through material and structural efficiency

Located in an arid Yucca Valley in California the main goals when developing this sustainable house design was to maximize the views and a high level of privacy. The Bluesky Home is an ingenious project indeed and it’s designed by Blue Sky Homes LLC and architect Lance O’Donnell of o2 Architecture.
