House Description

This design organizes the main living spaces around a large Great Room filled with natural light from full-height south-facing windows that frame the beautiful views beyond. The elegant Master Bedroom suite offers a charming bay window, a perfect nook for reading or quiet reflection. Upstairs, the efficient layout minimizes the corridor length while giving each bedroom its own south-facing dormer, inviting warm daylight, and creating the sense of enclosure reminiscent of traditional attic spaces. 

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 2" 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 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.
