Owners of an interactive media company wanted an energy efficient home that would take advantage of a double lot with southern exposure. The home features passive solar design as well as a geothermal system for heating, cooling and hot water. The home has been designed to integrate both their extensive art collection and the surrounding landscape, including a sunken garden.
| Title | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Feature 1 | Geothermal Heating and Cooling | Energy savings offset amortized capital costs; the system pays for itself from day one. |
| Feature 2 | Daylight Harvesting | Well placed windows and overhangs shade in the summer and capture sunlight in the winter. |
| Feature 3 | Rooftop Garden | Stone flooring near south facing windows stores and re-radiate thermal energy in the winter. |
