R853 – Modern Guest House Jr.
​Project Data:  853 SF (2-Bedroom,  2-Bath, 1-Story on Concrete slab, no Garage)

This compact and simple house provides a bright and open Great Room. The vaulted ceilings and large south glass doors allow for a generous connection between indoors and out, making the house seem much larger than it is. This floor plan offers 2-Master Bedroom suites. At 853 SF, it is right-sized for compact living, a vacation home, or an Airbnb. The rectangular floor plan, slab-on-grade foundation, and extruded gable shape simplify the construction process. 
​
This design promotes an environmentally sustainable and healthy structure and is affordable to maintain as the building ages. Some of the features are as follows:

• The living spaces are oriented around a southern exposure for optimum solar access and natural daylight all day long.
• The building shell is super-insulated and uses traditional 2x6 framing with Huber Zip System® R-12 Insulated Panels for external insulation.
• The extra insulation combined with a smaller building size means that the house will use less energy to heat and cool.
• Durable, low-maintenance fiber cement or exterior grade wood and metal for the exterior finishes reduce long term maintenance costs.
• The roofline is at a 45° angle and has sufficient space for solar panels.
• Interior materials are specified to be low or no VOC to provide healthy indoor air quality.​
