House Description

Designed for simplicity and comfort, this modern 1,027-square-foot home feels spacious, bright, and inviting. The Great Room and bedrooms share a continuous open ceiling plane at 10 feet, enhancing volume and sightlines. A south-facing folding glass wall establishes direct indoor-outdoor continuity, extending the living space to the generous patio. A retractable patio awning provides seasonal solar control to block the summer sun and allow winter light. Compact and efficient, this design is perfectly sized for a primary home, vacation retreat, or Airbnb.

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 house's living spaces are oriented around a southern exposure for optimum solar access and natural daylight all day long.
• The super-insulated building shell uses traditional 2x6 framing with Huber Zip System® R-12 Insulated Panels for external insulation.
• The extra insulation, combined with a smaller building size, means that the house will use less energy to heat and cool.
• Durable, low-maintenance stucco, stone, and metal for the exterior finishes reduce long-term maintenance costs.
• Interior materials are specified to be low or no-VOC to provide healthy indoor air quality.
