House Description

This house is designed around a generous and flexible Great Room with full height south-facing windows to take advantage of special views. The luxurious Master Bedroom includes a quaint bay window to sit and relax. The second floor has an efficient configuration that minimizes the hallway. Each bedroom has a south-facing dormer that brings in more daylight and makes them feel like cozy attic rooms. 

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 traditional 2x6 framing wall with 4" of external rigid 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 for the exterior finishes reduce 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.
