In Progress: Custom Single-Family LivingHome Designed by Ray Kappe and the Plant Design Studio

When our clients lost their home to a wildfire, they engaged the Plant Design Studio in collaboration with Plant Design Partner Ray Kappe, FAIA to conceive an updated California modern residence.

An open-plan living area on the first floor welcomes guests to gather around a central fireplace, flanked by twelve-foot sliding-glass doors that extend the space onto a stone-tiled patio. On the second floor, large roof decks and a private balcony off the master suite provide comfortable indoor-outdoor living.

A combination of wood and steel framing was used to support large spans of full-height glass, maximizing the property's ocean views. A canopy roof provides natural climate control, and the home also features a greywater system for irrigation.

The home is being prefabricated in our Rialto factory as seven Plant Modules™ and one Plant Panel™, which will be assembled on-site in two days.
