A Traditionally Styled Home Goes High-Tech

We designed a 2,000 square foot home which uses natural forces and logical combinations of systems to produce a very energy efficient home and to keep the cost moderate. The traditional style of the home masks the state-of-the-art technology that lies beneath the surface. Using a solar panel array (installed adjacent to the house) and a battery backup system, 100% of the electrical power is generated from the sun, making this house completely off the grid. This combined with radiant floor heating, extra thick insulation, south facing glass and an open floor plan, make this an ultra-efficient classic.
