Though tricked out with high-tech touches, this house’s greenest feature is decidedly low tech: the family’s intention to make it their lifelong home.

Love this house and its simplicity and elegant zen quality. Please say who the architect is and provide a floor plan. This house is for longevity and livability.
Hi Robin, the architects are listed above: lee + mundwiler architects out of Los Angeles http://www.lm-arch.com/
Love the design! simple and elegant! Liked very much the home's ''green'' features, solar panel and hardscaping.
More renderings and photos of this house can be found at http://www.lm-arch.com/projects.php?id=118. Click through the photos.
Loved working with the Lai's as thier contractor. To see more homes I have built in Los Angeles, please visit my web site. www.niagaraconstruction.com
Beautiful project, beautiful sentiment, consistent with joy and happiness. I applaud the architect and client for listening to each other and delivering a unique prototypical solution. I appreciate you mentioning Ron K as the contributing, collaborative builder. Today, with technology reaching vertical acceleration of development, the benefits of building as a team of design/build contributing members are numerous. Ron builds my work exclusively and when he makes suggestions I listen.
Congratulations to the family, it's a masterpiece.
i like the sofas, do you know whos the designer?
Thanks for your question! The sofas are the Neo Sectional Chaise Left by Niels Bendtsen from DWR. See slide 11 for more info: http://www.dwell.com/slideshows/l-is-for-longevity.html?slide=11&c=y&paused=true
This project exhibits how crucial each move is in a minimalist approach. We worked closely with David and Mayuko, and Lee+ Mundwiler architects to arrive at the simplest and most refined ideas for hardscape and planting. Please visit our website at www.orangestreetstudio.com. Michael Schneider
