Cole Residence

Specht Harpman designed this 1,800 sf house, which stretches across a steep ravine, to make the most of its spectacular views and connections to the community. With green architecture as a guiding principle, this house serves as an index of both sustainability and affordability. The large social and gathering space takes advantage of the long views to the west, while the smaller private spaces are clustered toward the street. Sustainable features include geothermal heating and cooling, green materials throughout, and low-water native landscape design.
