Arcata Stay - Streamside Stay

Just two short blocks off of the Plaza, STREAMSIDE STAY provides easy access to downtown Arcata. This two bedroom apartment is situated above the offices of an environmental consulting firm and overlooks Jolly Giant Creek.

Constructed in 2004, the building is a model of "green architecture" renowned in ecology-minded Arcata for its design incorporating environmentally friendly materials and solar energy self sufficiency. Although conventional in appearance and amenities, it is a showcase of sustainable construction.

The decor is simple, clean, and contemporary, in a neutral color palette of cream, taupe and blue, enhanced by natural fibers as well as imagery inspired by nature.

Owners of this property, McBain and Trush, environmental consultants specializing in river restoration, incorporated into their building design a plan to "daylight" the creek running across their property. This stream, enclosed underground in a culvert since the 1940's, was uncovered, debris hauled away, and restored to a natural setting. See Times-Standard article.

A breakfast bar with stool seating is an island separating the kitchen from the living room. STREAMSIDE STAY features natural linoleum floors, recycled fiber carpets, solar heated water for domestic use and in-floor radiant heating, solar electricity, Energy Star™ appliances, and certified Smart Wood™ redwood decking harvested from the Arcata community forest.

Steps away from its off-street parking area, STREAMSIDE STAY is accessed through a secure gate leading up a private stairway to the second level deck. This is a bright and spacious apartment with many large windows, vaulted ceilings, and an open floor plan for the living room, kitchen, and dining area.
