Anderson Creek - Situated on a rural site along the creek, this house utilizes SIPS panel construction for the building envelope. The heat for the house is provided by a masonry heater (wood-fired) which has a heated bench surround. The roofing is galvanized metal, as are the gutters and structural connectors. Galvanized metal culvert pipe was used for rainwater cisterns, and the stored water is used for site irrigation. In addition to the living spaces, a music studio was incorporated into the west end of the building.
A good design balances the logistics and aesthetics of a project with the needs of the client. Since the essence of the design is a concept developed by the designer with the client, it cannot be wholly represented in a set of construction drawings. Working as the designer and the builder, Ashland Design Solutions provides a seamless connection between design intent and construction. In a design/build project, construction costs are addressed at the beginning of the design process and monitored throughout.
