Jim Zack and Lise de Vito are husband and wife who founded the Zack|de Vito Architecture and recently designed and built the 147 Laidley modern house. The house was designed and built with sustainability in mind using appropriate materials, systems and construction techniques.
The house is a new, ground up single family residence located on a typical 25′x100′ San Francisco infill lot. The house is just over 3,000 square foot, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and an open plan living floor with dramatic views of the City, the Bay and the Bay Bridge.
The eco friendly approach to built the house was using a panelized framing systems, with 90% of the framing produced off site and assembled in 3 1/2 weeks. The design of the house is modern and open, expressive of materials, detail and craft, yet it was easily assimilated into its urban context of older houses. The attention to detail is best exemplified by the interior stair custom fabricated from water jet cut steel stringers, acrylic treads and steel and glass guardrails.
