The name of this home is the “Sculptor 3 House” for two reasons, first is the owner of this home is a sculptor and this home is 3 stories. This custom prefab home boasts corrugated metal façade and large windows that face the valley, at the rear, this industrial style prefab home features the exposed steel beams which support the main structure. As most other prefabs, this home sits gently above many supporting columns which elevated the home above the ground. The interior design of this home may still preserves the industrial style, but the design as a whole comes “softer.” Some parts of the interior have wood flooring, and the clean, white walls. The rustic style of the exterior is only represented by the steel beams which support the entire building. The interiors are also bright due to the large windows and spacious due to the high ceilings, these designs, the large windows and the high ceilings are possible due to the vertical design of the home. “The entry space, twisting and torqued, dark, vertical, inward, is based on qualities of the owner's large clay pots, a few of which are visible at the base of the stairs,” according to the architects of Sander Architects. “From the inception of the project, the strength of these sculptural clay forms was a deep influence on the making of spaces within the house.” For this architecture firm, this 4.500-sq foot Santa Rosa, California home is one of their ‘Hybrid House’ designs, “part prefab, all custom.” Sander Architects.
