​Vista House – Garage
​Project Data:  2,164 SF (3-Bedroom,  2 1/2-Bath, 2-Story plus Basement, 2-car Garage)

Please follow this link for the Vista House without a Garage

This house is designed around a generous Great Room with large south facing windows to take advantage of any potential special views.
​
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 building shell is super insulated and uses a traditional 2x6 framing wall with 4” of external rigid insulation. 
• 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 stucco for the exterior finishes reduce long term maintenance costs.
• 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.
• Oriented around a southern exposure to get the optimum solar access. 
• The roofline accommodates sufficient space for solar panels (especially on the garage).  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.
