Sander Architects – EE. ...Residence for a Briard came out of conversations with the owners who found an old bungalow in Culver City and initially considered a renovation.

After discussions with architect Whitney Sander they realized that they could take advantage of his Hybrid home equity rates to build a ground-up duplex for only slightly more than the proposed reno budget. The gauntlet they threw down: to build the greenest home equity rates that had ever come out of the Sander practice.

The challenge: a very tight budget.
The third issue was Hobbes, the Briard for whom the home equity rates is named: not only a huge dog but a huge factor that influenced everything from stair design to finishing materials. This is an instance when it was important that a design “go to the dogs.” Hybrid House was one of the things that attracted the clients to the Sander. The firm’s strong design reputation was important too as the client is one of the founders of the Architectural Foundation of Los Angeles.
The short list: very modern, very green, very dog friendly.

Residence for a Briard is the greenest Hybrid House ever built. Strategies and material engineering include: greywater systems, passive heating and cooling strategies, cistern to capture rainwater for watering landscaping, recycled blue jean insulation, sunflower seed wall board, bamboo flooring, marmoleum, structural materials steel frames from recycled steel, and more.
