Case Study: Dan Brunn Architecture achieves net zero sustainable home design with Graphisoft Archicad

Dan Brunn Architecture builds Bridge House with Graphisoft using 90% recycled materials

Dan Brunn Architecture, a Los Angeles-based firm, sought to design and build a unique, net-zero residential home called the Bridge House over a natural brook. The challenge involved implementing an innovative and sustainable building system to achieve a zero-waste construction process while creating a timeless design. They utilized Graphisoft's Archicad software to manage this complex project from concept through integration with new construction methods.

The solution involved using Graphisoft's Archicad alongside the Bone Structure building system. Archicad allowed the team to design entirely in 3D from the start, seamlessly integrating the precise kit-of-parts structural components. This workflow supported the project's goals, resulting in a net-zero home built with up to 90% recycled materials and a zero-waste structural phase. Graphisoft's software streamlined the process, accelerating design and enabling efficient collaboration with the new building system for a successful, sustainable outcome.
