The Atwater House by Design, Bitches has evolved with its family over 20 years. Once a 500 sq.ft. near-teardown it now features an office, pool house, living room, and bedroom with a green roof. The original structure was replaced with a kitchen/dining area and bedrooms for the children. Custom finishes include oak, walnut, concrete tiles, and steel skylights. Natural light, insulation, and strategic tree planting minimize the need for artificial lighting, heating and cooling.
