A green-build coastal home, planned from the lot up.

A high-performance custom home on the Oregon Coast, in lot search, schematic design and consulting.

Site & Location

The lot search is under way on the Oregon Coast. Each candidate lot is checked for zoning, coastal hazards, utilities and access before it is chosen.

Challenge

A coastal custom home built to green building standards brings in more reviewers than a typical house: coastal hazard and shoreline rules, the certifying program and its verifiers, and the consultants each one requires. The first lot under contract was dropped after due diligence.

Approach

Lot due diligence on each candidate site Coastal guidelines and hazard review for the chosen lot Green building certification path (LEED or similar) and the agencies involved Consultant team: surveyor, geotechnical engineer, structural engineer and energy rater Phased schematic design, then the permit set

Result

In progress. Schematic design and consulting continue while the lot search finishes.

Frequently Asked Questions

I was told my farm building does not need a permit. Is that true?

It may be, and the exemption is narrower than most people are told. It generally covers storing farm equipment and produce or housing livestock, and it tends to end once there is human occupancy, retail sale, public access or employees working in the structure. An office or a restroom is usually enough to end it. We give you that answer in writing before the building goes up.

We have a prototype set from corporate. Can you adapt it per site?

That is a large part of what we do. The prototype stays intact and the adaptation handles the site, the jurisdiction and whatever local provisions apply.

Do you produce the permit drawings yourselves?

SASHKOV produces permit and construction documents in-house, to the US National CAD Standard, and brings in licensed engineers and architects where the jurisdiction or the building requires a stamp.
