House Description

The home is designed with a sleek, linear layout that fills every room with natural light throughout the day. At its heart is a distinctive Studio, thoughtfully set apart from the main living areas by a welcoming Foyer and an intimate entry courtyard. Despite its modest footprint, the Foyer opens toward a sunlit south courtyard, creating a striking first impression that instantly connects visitors to the home’s vibrant indoor-outdoor character.

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 living spaces are oriented around a southern exposure for optimum solar access and natural daylight all day long.
• The building shell is super-insulated and uses a double-wall 2x frame construction.
• The extra insulation, combined with a smaller building size, means that the house will use less energy to heat and cool.
• Durable, low-maintenance metal siding for the exterior finishes reduces long-term maintenance costs.
• The roofline accommodates sufficient space and angle for solar panels.
• Interior materials are specified to be low or no-VOC to provide healthy indoor air quality.
• All south-facing windows have a canopy to prevent overheating in the summer.
