A 1950s Joseph Esherick home in Berkeley was updated by its owners in 2009 to include a new Japanese-inspired pavilion composed of two prefabricated, off-center rectangular volumes beneath a butterfly roof half clad with solar panels.

Each of the microHaus models come with interior and exterior LEDs that respond to motion and ambient lighting.

The 275-square-foot LOVT prefab is a feast of crisp millwork, with a modular daybed stacked on drawers and kitchen cabinets with cutouts for pulls.

The bedroom pavilion is mostly hidden, thanks to a massive native California oak—part of a grove. “That’s the good thing about oaks—they keep their leaves in the winter, so you don’t have one view in the summer and another in the winter,” Suzanne says.

Butterfly House, designed by Feldman Architecture for David and Suzanne Rinaldo in California’s Monterey County, is made up of three discrete structures separated by walkways. The distinct folds in the roofs are utilized for rainwater catchment.
