Roddy Residence, Phoenix

Architects Mark and Caren Roddy added on to their historic 1928 900-square-foot bungalow located in a hip, revitalized area near downtown Phoenix by using pre-engineered steel buildings from Bunger Steel Inc. The couple added a 324-square-foot detached garage, as well as a dining room, bedroom, bathroom and library totaling 720 square feet. In addition to the sustainable aspects of metal, the Roddys selected the steel structures because they liked the aesthetics, particularly the rust, and the natural look of metal. To accommodate salvaged materials such as glass, the structures-26-gauge uncoated Purlin Bearing R Panel-were somewhat modified. Large-scale windows in the living areas provide ample daylighting and views that give a sense of outdoor living. Five-foot-wide glass doors on the dining room are a connector between the existing bungalow and the new steel building that features steel siding to set the addition apart.
