DeMaria Design's Redondo Beach IBU House and Logical Homes

I've been reading more about IBU homes on Greg La Vardera's blog. I have to say, the more I read about this type of construction from Greg, OMD, Hybrid Seattle, and others the more I'm thinking this is the direction for me to go when I start planning a new home for my family. This type of home is so fresh and exciting, and appealing also as a relatively cost effective solution.

The IBU house by DeMaria Design Associates that La Vardera highlights on his blog is really inspiring. You can see more of it on the DeMaria site, and read about it in an LA Times article. Honestly, if the images and article don't peak your interest I don't know what will. Still need more? Okay, how about this - the house has inspired a line of homes that DeMaria calls "packaged architecture." They should be available soon under the brand Logical Homes. Here's a pic.


I will definitely be keeping a sharp eye on this. And I'll be digging for more info on IBU and similar strategies. So keep checking back.
