Architectural Renderings House-Backyard Cottage Prefab at West Coast Green


Larson + Shores Architects, Inc. designed the modular home to minimize energy costs with natural day lighting and high-efficiency windows, appliances and insulation. The home can be ordered pre-assembled or as a set of construction drawings that can be assembled by a contractor or even the dweller themselves.
The ‘Inspired In Law’ concept, also known as ASAP, ‘architectural solutions for the aging population’, focuses on avoiding costs of assisted living, while increasing safety with sustainable, accessible, and adaptable living spaces. We were amused by the gorgeous waterfront Fort Mason views out each window, and inspired by the affordable, sustainable, off-the-shelf materials utilized throughout.
Some of our favorites include recycled glass tiles from Hakatai, which are composed of waste glass sourced from approximately 90% post-consumer bottles and 10% pre-consumer material. The steel and enamel Kaldewei shower pan was also an affordable, resilient option, avoiding the use of vinyl or fiberglass.


Panaria Ceramica tiles from TheTileShop contain 40% recycled content and meet the ISO 14001 environmental declarations, and we loved the muted grey and beige GreenGuard certified cork flooring by Wicanders. The Smart LED lights by Cree Lighting use just 10.5 watts and are listed as the highest luminaire efficiency of any Energy Star residential lighting product. Cabinetry by Studio Marler provided a low-VOC, recycled content wood option from managed forests with no added urea-formaldehyde.
It’s worth noting that all the of structural wood members of the prefab home were FSC certified. Last but not least, the bonus of added Water Hogs garnered a lot of attention as people saw firsthand how reclaimed water from the tiny structure’s roof could nourish plants without ANY municipal water.
