Trestle House is one of those houses that has a very tight budget and very difficult construction conditions. It’s located on a steeply slopping sight so innovative structural systems and modular construction were used. Its name is chose due to the foundation system while the budget economy was achieved by the use of a 12’ x 16’ grid creating a short structural span and standard 4’ x 8’ sheets of plywood which is a modern reinterpretation of the traditional Japanese Tatami mat module. These material looks very natural even though it isn’t and comfy for living. The interior continuous the theme of naturalism so materials that were used there are wood, stone and their imitations.

    [...] Modern Wooden House Design on Budget By Prisa, on February 6th, 2011 This house is a real challenge in creativity for the architects at Tyler Engle Architects, the tight site and tight budget presented a handicap to build a building. The solution was to build the house as a system of modules, something like a modification of the traditional Japanese architecture Tatami mat module. The system is constructed of a 12 x 16 feet grid system and covered by 4 x 8 feet plywood sheets. The final result is quite stunning, this column-supported house is beautiful, the color and texture combination of the façade do make the house charming, even though the materials are not the best in quality and appearance. The modern interior is also warmth and inviting, the neutral color is combined with the darker wooden floor. The interior is also bright, giving a sense of spaciousness.
