Project Overview
Positioned in the lush, rolling hills of the Bay Area, this home reflects a modernized version of Wright’s iconic Prairie style, characterized by low horizontal lines and open interior spaces. The project, led by iBuild’s seasoned team of designers and builders, encapsulates the firm’s commitment to infusing timeless design principles with contemporary needs, crafting a living space that is both a home and a work of art.
Design Approach
The Architectural Vision
Inspired by the organic architecture movement spearheaded by Frank Lloyd Wright, iBuild envisioned a residence that naturally integrates with its environment while providing modern amenities. Key features include expansive windows for ample natural light, custom wood finishes, and a thoughtful layout that promotes flow.
Site Analysis & Sustainability
The design process began with a thorough site analysis, essential for understanding the environmental context and informing sustainable choices. By leveraging local climate data and integrating eco-friendly systems, such as geothermal heating and solar panels, iBuild pursued the highest sustainability standards while enhancing the home’s aesthetic.
Interior & Sustainable Design
The interiors reflect a modern twist on Wright’s principles, with an emphasis on natural materials and open spaces. Eco-friendly materials were selected to minimize the ecological footprint while maintaining a luxurious feel. This balance of sustainability and style is a testament to iBuild’s dedication to creating homes that are both beautiful and environmentally conscious.
