Project Highlights

This home was designed around two objectives: frame the view to the downtown skyline and shade the home throughout the day from the hot summer sun. .

Although the home's footprint is small, the open spaces, well-curated millwork, and large living room windows create a functional and comfortable residence. The living space has the best view, and windows along the south and north facades reveal two architecturally significant bridges that lead into downtown. .

Since the home was built with structurally insulated panels on the walls and ceilings and is tightly insulated, it requires very little to heat and cool throughout the year. To further reduce heat gain, the west facade has few windows, and the west-facing metal paneling has an air gap to reduce heat transmission through the walls. .

Certified to both NGBS (National Green Building Standard) and LEED-H, this home was the Department of Energy’s Home Innovation Winner in 2017 as well as the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA) 2017 Building Excellence Winner.
