The design for the Sherbourne home is multifaceted and places simultaneous focus on sustainability, color and space with design elements oriented in a way that takes full advantage of natural light and cross-ventilation.
The polished concrete floor flows inside-out in an unobstructive manner which increases the homeโs overall fluidity while blurring the lines between the interior and exterior courtyards.
The home utilizes cutting edge fabrication methods which are made possible by mnmMOD, a sustainable building material that can yield โnet zeroโ efficiency.
A suspended staircase of pleated raw steel ascends the second floor from the hallway.
The Sherbourne home features separate spaces for each family member that, while private, all revolve around the core of the house.
The living room, dining room and great room, the ceilings of which are all double story, overlook the in-ground pool in order to maximize space.
The exterior courtyard is well-appointed and consists of a lounge area and fire pit, as well as a complete outdoor kitchen and dining room.
The Sherbourne home truly excels at bringing the inside-out, or the outside-in.
In addition to functionality, Minarcโs interest in simple, eco-conscious design is centered around creating a truly healthy environment throughout the entire home, and the mnmMOD building material plays a key role in helping the Sherbourne home attain this.
mnmMOD is a new, highly-sustainable panelized building system developed by Minarc that features the economy and waste-reduction of pre-fab, while yielding โnet zeroโ efficiency along with a range of other construction and homeowner benefits.
The mnmMOD system allows for a significant reduction of necessary manpower during construction, and further benefits builders due to its rapid construction process that entirely replaces traditional wood frame homebuilding techniques.
