In designing under the name the one-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot home for his wife, Lisa, and himself, Trzebiatowski, seized on a lacy, if gritty, mesh to enclose open sitting areas and screen the glazed walls…. “The impulse was primarily aesthetic,” Trzebiatowski says, noting, however, that the wire mesh both cuts the sun’s glare and affords privacy, while the corrugated steel - with insulation, affords warmth when temperatures drop.
