​Project Data:  1,715 SF  ( 3-Bedroom,  2 1/2-Bath,  2-story plus Basement, 2-car Garage)

Please follow this link for the Studio House without a Garage

This house is oriented around a long and linear plan, with a special Studio space separated from the main house by a small entry courtyard.  Some features that promote an environmentally sustainable and healthy structure and is affordable to maintain as the building ages are as follows: The building shell is super insulated and uses a double-wall 2x4 construction. 

This design promotes an environmentally sustainable and healthy structure and is affordable to maintain as the building ages.  Some of the features are as follows:

• The super insulation together with a smaller building size means that the house will use less energy to heat and cool it.
• Durable, low-maintenance metal wall panels on the exterior reduces long term maintenance costs.
• Designed on a two-foot building grid and standard dimensions to reduce waste and time in construction.
• Traditional framing methods make it easy to find local labor, while using “Advanced Framing” reduces the overall amount of lumber, compensating for the added costs in other materials like exterior insulation.
• The houses are oriented around a southern exposure to get the optimum solar access. 
• The roofline accommodates sufficient space for solar panels.  Heavier insulation and good daylight exposure can also reduce the quantity of solar panels required. 
• Interior materials are specified to be low or no VOC to provide a healthy indoor air quality.
