Today was a good day.
After three years of continuances, the Zoning Administrator approved a variance and small-lot design review for a substandard-lot fire rebuild.
For this hearing I tried something new. I built a custom quick-lookup app for the podium — searchable, color-coded, every code citation, every staff-report quote, every script for questions outside scope, all a keystroke away.
Built collaboratively with Claude as a research and drafting partner over the past three weeks.
Some surprises along the way. The neighbors who has opposed this project for years didn't appear. Several other neighbors came to speak in support. The hearing was quiet, professional, and the variance was approved.
Solo-practice architecture is mostly the slow work of showing up, doing the homework, and respecting the record. Tools like this lighten the homework. The judgment is still ours.
Grateful for today.

Joined the Cohousing Crawl with East Bay Cohousing and visited Berkeley Cohousing and Pleasant Hill Cohousing — both shaped by Charles Durrett and The Cohousing Company (@cohousingco_01).

I first met Charles in Nevada City back in 2018, and his work has continued to influence how I think about architecture as a framework for community: shared meals, everyday encounters, and sustainability woven into the way people live together.
Always come away from these visits reminded that good design is not just about buildings, but about the neighbors they help create.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #cohousingcommunity #communityliving

Last weekend, we headed up to Sebastopol for International Passive House Open Days and visited Windhorse Orchard with Studio Pear (@studio_pear). This family-led renovation, situated in the wildland–urban interface, is being transformed into a Passive House and Living Building Challenge home—one of the most ecologically sustainable residential projects in the country.

Walking the site, you feel how deeply Kristin and Jason Nichols have woven building science into daily life: a super-insulated, airtight envelope, non-toxic materials, carbon-sequestering insulation, greywater systems, and a restored oak savanna landscape that turns the whole property into regenerative infrastructure.

Grateful to learn from architect-owner Kristin Nichols, the MAD Architecture, SDC Built, ZFA, Essential Habitat, Home Energy Services, Earth Bound Homes, and Passive House California teams—and to see what’s possible when a home becomes both sanctuary and climate action.

Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the California Green Building Conference, hosted by USGBC California, where we helped represent Passive House California (#PassiveHouseCalifornia) in the event’s “Smoke-Tight Zone.”

It was a rewarding day connecting with many attendees curious about #PassiveHouse design and reconnecting with fellow advocates and partners who are just as committed to building a healthier, more resilient future.

At Studio C, we are passionate about sharing the principles behind Passive House—whether it's airtightness, high-performance systems, or comfort without compromise.

Curious what makes a Passive House different?
Let’s talk! We love helping others learn how better buildings can lead to better living.

[Passive Solar Design #2] - Orientation and Form Factor

Building orientation and form are crucial for energy efficiency. Ideally, buildings are positioned to capture sunlight and heat appropriately for the climate and design. This improves energy performance and natural lighting.

Simpler building forms make insulation easier and reduce thermal bridges, which helps keep the building airtight and energy-efficient. Fewer edges and corners mean better overall performance.

[Passive Solar Design]

As one of the Passive House design strategies, passive solar design uses the sun’s energy to heat buildings naturally, but it’s important to control that heat, especially in warmer months. Deciduous trees, which provide shade in summer and allow sunlight in winter, are a great natural solution. Overhangs, window shades, and exterior screens also help manage heat gain effectively.

Proper shading allows for maximizing solar heat when needed and minimizing it during hot seasons without sacrificing natural daylight. Daylighting reduces the need for artificial lighting and lowers energy use.

Solar heat gain is a valuable resource for some buildings, while it can become excessive for others, especially those with internal heat sources. Passive solar design balances these factors based on the climate, building orientation, and high-performance windows.

In collaboration with #ecococon, we present this infographic, drawing on their data and projects to showcase the benefits of prefabricated straw panels in modern, high-performance design and construction.

Prefab straw panels are engineered for consistent quality and higher performance. They can look very different than traditional straw bale construction; in a few examples shown here, they are all modern and large, even multi-story buildings, meeting modern fire-resistant design criteria.

這周我們和EcoCocon合作，
給大家介紹目前市面上有哪些可再生的建築材料，
綜合前面的二篇文短文，
這筆者認為最具有潛力的是預製(prefab)的乾草牆版(straw panel)，
除了優越的隔熱和保溫(insulation, R-40)，
生產及運輸時對濕度及環境的控制，
確保材料在安裝前不受水氣及害蟲入侵。
相對於傳統認知以乾枓堆(straw bale)建造的鄉村風格房舍，
現代化品管生產的straw panel，可以運用在現代風格及各種尺度的建築設計上。

In collaboration with #ecococon, we developed a new series of infographics, drawing on their data and projects to showcase the benefits of biogenic materials, particularly prefabricated straw panels, in modern, high-performance design and construction.
Prefab straw panels are engineered for consistent quality and higher performance. They offer rapid renewability, with straw harvested annually compared to timber's decades-long growth cycle. This makes straw a practical and significant option for carbon sequestration, meeting global construction demand while mitigating deforestation risks using timber.

以目前世界各地建設的需求，雖然木材是可再生的材料，
砍伐的速度將快於再生能力，我們需要更好的替代產品。
有快速再生(rapid renewal)和更好的固碳能力(carbon sequestration)的材料，
如乾草(straw)和麻纖維(hemp)，是農業活動的副產品，
每年都可以收成，進行再製及利用，而且幾乎沒有化學成份。
相較木材需要數十年的生長周期，是更好的綠色材料

International Passive House Open Days

Passive House Network organized the International Passive House Open Days event, featuring various projects one can visit. The closest open house to me was in Sacramento. Taking advantage of my child's summer break, we visited the site.

The comfort and benefits of Passive House design were evident during our visit. Despite the outdoor temperature being 37°C, the indoor temperature remained at 28°C without air conditioning. This highlights the importance of resilient building designs in the face of global warming.

Other features of this house include high airtightness, which improves energy efficiency and indoor air quality by keeping out allergens, wildfire smoke, and vehicle emissions.

International Passive House Open Days這個活動，在各地有很多passive house響應；距離我最近的一個open house在Sacramento，剛好小孩暑假，平常在家耳濡目染，卻沒什麼機會看看工地現場，正好也順便帶他來看看。

之前我們對於什麼是Passive House（被動房)有分成很多篇幅介紹，從保溫，門窗，斷熱設計，防水氣密但透氣，都有內容可以參照，唯一還沒寫的部份只有全熱交換機和通風系統，概念都是簡單的熱力學和物理，不是火箭科學。

Passive House的優點和舒適性是全面性的，這一點在我們參觀時，室外37度攝氏的高溫但室內在完全沒開空調的情況下還維持在28攝氏度，就可以馬上感覺出來。全球暖化氣溫不斷創新高，要怎樣讓新的建築設計變得更resilient，只會變得越來越重要。

另外，因為Passive House的認證都需要通過blower door test，確保它的高度氣密性（不得高過0.6ACH＠50 pascals)，除了確保室內冷／暖氣不會外洩（節能)，也保障室內生活空間的空氣品質，不受外部環境影響，例如過敏季節，山火季節，車輛等廢氣，不容易進到室內（註二)。

附圖中有出現全熱交換機的照片，同時內牆敷設的白色INTELO不是一般常見的防水布，是一種透氣性會隨溫濕度改變的特殊材料，冬天是moisture barrier，夏天則可以透氣。

讀者可以特別注意入口大門的斷面，有二寸厚，外覆實木，內芯是保溫板；窗戶都是之前介紹過的歐式tilt-n-turn三層玻璃窗；近來美國物價狂飆，相較之下，很多歐州進口的材料和預製房屋，價格都已經接近美國的中端產品。

內牆保溫是天然羊毛，雖然單價較高，但屋主希望能儘可能的使用天然材料，來減少過敏和化學物質可能產生的危害，和對環境造成的負面影響。外牆保溫使用是用hemp(麻類植物纖維，不要想太多)製成的2"保溫板。這是一個從LCA(Life Cycle生命周期)出發，減少建築碳足跡的絕佳示範。

建築師是行業裡堅持只做Passive House而小有名的Bronwyn Barry，很開心可以有機會終於見上一面，順便和她討教一些開業的心得。

負責施工的Good Space Builder團隊則很開心碰到另一個也是做Passive House的建築師，不知道是不是因為這樣，解說特別徹底，恨不得整個拆了給看一般。

這種不怕看不怕你問的施工團隊，都對品質非常有自信；比起信口開河但問題都蓋在看不到地方者，我真的只想和好的單位合作，也希望將來有機會將這些好的單位，介紹給想和我們一起實現夢想的業主。

如果你最近也感受到這波熱浪，同時想打造健康的生活空間，都可以來和我們聊聊，討論適合你的被動房策略。

註一：一般住房基本沒有氣密性，測試結果約在8到10ACH (Air Change per Hour @50 pascals)之間。

註二：Passive House使用帶HEPA濾網的熱交換機(ERV/HRV)，引入外氣並排出污染(廚房及廁所)空氣，在機器內進行熱回收／交換，再由空調系統再送到房間。

International Passive House Open Days

Passive House Network organized the International Passive House Open Days event, featuring various projects one can visit. The closest open house to me was in Sacramento. Taking advantage of my child's summer break, we visited the site.

The comfort and benefits of Passive House design were evident during our visit. Despite the outdoor temperature being 37°C, the indoor temperature remained at 28°C without air conditioning. This highlights the importance of resilient building designs in the face of global warming.

Other features of this house include high airtightness, which improves energy efficiency and indoor air quality by keeping out allergens, wildfire smoke, and vehicle emissions.

Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art
[雙語]

[EN] I recently visited the Jan Shrem and Maria Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, an architectural marvel on the UC Davis campus. This contemporary gem, designed by SO-IL and Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, boasts a dynamic and fluid structure. Inspired by the farm field surrounding Davis, the signature grand canopy of perforated aluminum casts a mesmerizing play of light and shadow, reflecting the museum's innovative spirit. The museum layout seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing visitors' experience. The Manetti Shrem Museum is not just a place to view art but a destination that inspires with its cutting-edge design and serene ambiance. A must-see for art and architecture enthusiasts, access is free also.

[CN] 我們最近去了位於UC Davis校園的Jan Shrem ＆ Maria Manetti Shrem美術館。
這個由SO-IL和Bohlin Cywinski Jackson設計的當代建築，流暢的曲面遮陽靈感來自周圍的農田，穿孔鋁百葉營造出迷人的光影效果，外牆的預鑄混凝土牆也是本建築的特色。
美術館的佈局無縫結合了室內和室外空間，提升了參觀者的體驗。
Manetti Shrem美術館不僅是一個欣賞藝術的地方，對於藝術和建築愛好者來說，也是I-80公路邊上，往來灣區和Sacramento之間不容錯過，而且免費的休息點。

在來軸組和枠組工法
[雙語]

[EN] Wood construction can be divided into linear and planar systems.
The linear system, also known as "post-and-beam," uses columns and beams, allowing for large openings and flexibility for future adjustments. Historically, intricate woodworking techniques were used, but modern methods often incorporate metal connectors for seismic resistance.
The planar system, originating in the 19th-century US and known as the "2x4 method," combines wall panels and standardized lumber, making it suitable for rapid production and industrialization. Structural reinforcement is achieved with additional metal connectors and increased use of nails and plywood.

一般我們想到的木構造，其實可以根據構造系統，拆分成二種形式，可以用線和面的幾何概念來理解。

第一種是以線形構造，也就是以柱、梁為連接形式的系統，在日本叫做”在来（軸組）”工法，同時也是東方傳統木構造建築的構造系統。
在台灣、日本及中國的傳統廟宇、日式古民家都是這種以線為構成的柱梁構造；
也因為這樣，可以在柱和柱之間做大面積的開口。
早期的柱梁以榫卯相接，到現今，因為榫卯製作需要較高的技術和工藝水平，同時為了抗震，也有金屬連接件(金具)可以選擇。在需要做結構加強、對抗水平向剪力的部位，會用斜撐來強化轉角等部位。
以柱梁形式構成的結構，在日後需要對空間進行調整時，會有較大的彈性。

第二種是面式結構，以19世紀始於美國的2x4工法為代表，將壁面(合板)和2x4、2x6等制式的木構件相結合而成，在日本稱作”枠組”工法；如果照日文直譯，枠(waku)有框的意思。
2x4構法在美國一般又叫做framing construction，不知道是不是直譯的關係，畢竟在日本，枠組構法是近代才開始出現的較新木構造形式。
這種構造的特性是技術含量低，所有的構件都可以標準化，適合快速生產和建造(或粗製濫造)，也是20世紀開始出現的預製和工業化的基礎。
枠組構件的連接都是金屬構件，結構需要加強的地方，就是用更多的金屬構件來搞定，比如在剪力牆二端，一支2x6不夠，就來二支，不夠再往上加，和基礎連接的部位就用Hold down，面材和木構件之間增加釘子的數量，一邊不夠就內外二側都加上夾板，夾板的厚度也可以增加。
如此簡單粗暴，而且有效。

枠組近年也開始在日本流行，也有將軸組和枠組混合的做法，至於哪一種比較好其實沒有定論。
這篇短文只對這二種常見的東西方木構造做一個概括的介紹，木構造現在也開始在台灣流行，雖然常見的混凝土一體澆築成形複雜，但只要掌握木材的特性，做好防水、防潮和構造設計，就能創造出比混凝土構造更舒適健康又友善環境的居住空間。

如果你也對如何用現代的木構工法，給家人創造一個健康、舒適、節能的居住空間，也歡迎你和我們聯繫。
