Project Overview
Los Gatos Custom Modern
Build Type: Residential over 3K s/f
Why SIPs: Both the owner and architect contacted SBS and wanted to incorporate SIPs into the overall building project because of their efficiency, and cost savings.
Benefits of SIPs: This project was extremely difficult mostly because of the multiple angles of the walls, hardly any of the walls had a 90-degree angle. The home would have been quite costly building it conventionally because of the angles. Premier SIPs saved considerable time with labor and materials as every angle was figured in the shop drawings and manufactured. We also used one of the best SIP engineers in the business which was considerably helpful in keeping the cost down.
Innovative Design Elements: This project had multiple levels and the architect used unique angles to give the house a very contemporary look. The results are an award-winning project that has been featured in other architectural articles.
