The Bay Bridge House was requested to show which parts of the bridge would be needed to build the Bay Bridge House.This image is an overview of the needed sections to build the building. The light blue color indicates the parts needed in the construction. Overall only 1.32% of the bridge structure would be needed to build an Iconic Bay Area building that will be enjoyed for generations to come.

The project plans to use multiple recycled sections of the old Bay Bridge to build eco friendly housing that is environmentally and financially self sustaining. We would like to keep part of our history in the Bay Area for future generations to enjoy.
The house would look like a modern contemporary house with a green roof system and solar panels to provide power. Rainwater reclamation would be used to store water for use with the green roof and sewage systems.
Only Bay Area companies will be used to source all of the parts locally to build the Bay Bridge House.
Bridge parts that would be used:
whole road sections
two level road sections
concrete
steel I-beams
steel girders
steel plates
trusses
wire
gates
fencing
ladders
walkways
Our goal is for the House to take care of itself and not be a burden on any state resources.
Here are some of the possible configurations with possible income sources for self sustainability:
Single family house with BNB room
Single family house with an eco co-working space
Single family house with a second house
Single family house with 2 condos
Single family house with 3 condos
Single family house with 2 condos and a BNB room
Single family house with 2 condos and eco co-working space
Single family house with 2 condos and a second house
Single family house with 3 condos and eco co-working space
Single family house with 3 condos and a second house
Single family house with 2 condos, a BNB room and a second house
Single family house with 2 condos, eco co-working space and a second house
We will be applying for LEED certification.
