Home Design and Architecture

Giulietti/Schouten Architects have designed a low maintenance house situated a few miles outside of McMinnville on 2.5 acre sloping site in a walnut grove. The low maintenance of the house will be reached by the materials chosen those are galvanized metal siding, aluminum windows, exposed concrete wall and veneer wood panels for siding. The house also applied the sustainable architecture design that include rainwater harvesting, roof-mounted solar hot water heating, in-floor radiant heating, cork floors, natural day-lighting and Icynene sprayed-on insulation. This modern spacious house divided into two wings: the north one for the private Master Bedroom suite and home office; the south one for the living, dining and kitchen areas.
