Houston based family creates an energy efficient prefab steel building for executive meetings and overnight guests. EcoSteel also provided a custom MicroHome / ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) for the property.
EcoSteel Clients Craig and wife Alena aren’t sure how they’ll use the Auxiliary Dwelling Unit (ADU) they will soon have built on their Vista, Calif. property. But they and their contractor are certain the ADU will be constructed of steel from EcoSteel.
That 800-square-foot home will feature an entrance leading into a combined living room and kitchen. A pair of bedrooms will be placed left and right of the kitchen. Enormous windows will help flood the interior with natural light, as will sliding glass doors dividing the interior from an outside concrete deck. The home will feature a light gray exterior with darker gray framing accents and interiors of sheetrock white. A light-colored roof will reflect sunlight to help keep the home cool.
Craig found building an ADU with EcoSteel provided one advantage after another. The first is beautiful aesthetics. “EcoSteel has done a great job with the side paneling and their roofing, to give it a nice, modern look,” he says.
Other benefits include steel’s inherent value and ability to resist natural disasters like earthquakes and wildfires. The home’s location 45 miles north of San Diego leaves it vulnerable to east winds that can carry explosive fire. Steel’s resistance to the mold, warping and splitting plaguing wood construction was another consideration.
Craig doesn’t believe the microhome’s construction will take longer than four to six months, meaning his ADU should be ready by summer 2022. He’s convinced steel is the right ADU choice. “EcoSteel is on the right path,” he says.
As a car collector, it’s important to keep your investments in mint condition after all the hard work and resources you’ve put into them. Therefore you may be thinking about where and how to store these valuable assets. The answer? A customized all steel conditioned building that is both functional and indulgent. EcoSteel can provide you with all the necessary design and supply elements as well as luxurious customization options for any car collector…
EcoSteel auto storage buildings are safe, fire resistant and clear span ready for large areas and custom features like Bi-Fold Aircraft Hangar Doors as the entry piece. Combine your auto storage with entire second floor that will serve as an office space with a covered balcony. If this isn’t the ultimate safe haven for both work and play, we don’t know what is.
The design will provide maximum protection against all the elements with insulation solutions that are a great way to lower long term heating and cooling costs. The roof and wall insulation systems also contribute to the advanced energy performance by creating an airtight structure that all prefabricated steel buildings offer.
Spend a great deal of time in this dual-functioning facility aesthetics and comfort are extremely important. The roof, walls, trim and doors were all customized from a variety of colors as well as the overall design to best suit the personality of the owner and operation of the space.
