As the name indicates, the Solar
Umbrella House carries the idea of a trellis to the next level,
incorporating solar technology that reduces drain and dependence
upon the local electrical grid (with the goal of rendering
the residence 100% energy neutral) while also shading the
residence from direct sunlight. This solar canopy also acts
as a link between the house and the existing 650 s.f. bungalow
situated on the north portion of the approximately 40' x 100'
through lot. The new addition expands the residence to 1,900
s.f. and flips the main entry to the south, further taking
advantage of the Southern California sunshine. |
