Redesigned Properties
39th Ave, San Francisco
This home is located in the Sunset District of San Francisco and was my first single-family home remodel. I redesigned it using sustainable building techniques and building materials. I wanted to address 3 fundamental building components: how the house and its family would use water, how the house and its family would use power, and how different building materials would affect the environment both at the time of installation and on into the future. I hoped to redesign the home so it had a lighter environmental footprint, produced less carbon and was a smaller burden on the community, and I will be blogging on how that worked from time to time as my family and I are now living there.
