“Leaky Dryvit.”

These words send chills down the spine of any developer on the West Coast - and sadly, homeowners aren’t immune either. This project began with a messy insurance claim after the exterior skin of this mid-90’s construction began to leak. The owners saw opportunity along with the disaster, and brought PLACE in to design a full reclad of the whole building, bringing new life and style to a bland, dated exterior. Rainscreen siding, skinned with a mix of metal, wood, and fiber cement panels came to the rescue once again, and the result is a lively palette and a warm, dry house.
