During construction, the owners began calling it “The Death Star” because of a resemblance to the moon-sized space weapon in “Star Wars”. Grey, recycled, eco-friendly, rubber roof shingles cover the outside walls and roofs, and an elevated interior office with angled site-glazing serves as the futuristic control deck looking out above the kitchen. Intersecting the kitchen space is a jagged-shaped range hood cover while a small office space zigzags under a stair. Raw materials such as polished concrete floors and oak cabinets and wall paneling are used throughout while floor to ceiling windows allow generous views to a 41” heritage tree in the front yard.
