Overall, the Architects recognized Carnegie Institute’s building has this “extremely received one of the highest overall low-energy occupant satisfaction ratings of over laboratory 300 buildings CBE has surveyed. and Planning for Success What process led to a building with such stellar occupant satisfaction and performance? Engineers, architects, the client—including the client’s research staff — “We need to make worked together in a collaborative, integrated a fundamental process, beginning with a design charrette. paradigm shift: A committee from the Carnegie Institute met money to carbon.” with the project manager and design architects. Scott Shell, EHDD Architects Together, they went over basic ideas, identifi ed the needs of those who would use the building, A Model Success: The Carnegie Institute for Global Ecology identified the types of office and lab space needed, and discussed options for where the building should be placed on its site. In addition, the participants agreed upon the common goal of a sustainable building meeting the requirements for LEED Gold or Platinum certification. Such a building would add minimal carbon to the atmosphere during both construction and operation. However, Carnegie Institute staffers decided not to pay consultants to seek LEED certification.

Various interior and exterior alterations are also proposed. SITE DESCRIPTION AND PRESENT USE The subject building is a three-story-over-garage, single-family residence located at the southeast corner of the intersection of 32nd Avenue and El Camino del Mar. The subject lot is an irregularly shaped corner lot measuring approximately 44 feet deep by 44 feet wide (at its narrowest dimensions) with an approximate area of 2, 500 square feet. The building was constructed circa 1962. SURROUNDING PROPERTIES AND NEIGHBORHOOD The adjacent building to the south of the project is a four-story (three-story with a partial fourth floor), single-family residence. The adjacent building to the east of the project is three-story, single-family residence. The project is located within the Sea Cliff neighborhood which is typically characterized by large two- to four-story, detached single-family residences of varied architectural styles.

The area around the house has limited landscaping, although it appears to have had a more extensive plan in the past. The carport is the first structure from the road. This is connected to the main house by a covered walkway that has a back wall made of narrow, vertical wood strips. The entire house is constructed of wood, primarily vertical heavy shakes that appear as short boards.
