The owners’ desire to reduce, repair, remake, and rethink the impact of our daily routines inspired the house’s energy-saving characteristics.

Utilizing the energy generated from the roof-top solar panels, allows the house to be net-zero.

Particular care was taken to create a unique house that is a reflection of the owners’ contemporary tastes while respecting the character of the 100-year-old neighborhood.

Throughout the year, electricity generated on sunny days replaces electricity pulled from the grid on cloudy days or at night.

A rain harvesting system collects water from the roof and stores it in a cistern for irrigation of the vegetable and flower gardens.

To minimize rainwater run-off, the remainder of the site was designed to have no impervious surfaces.

At every opportunity, locally sourced materials were specified.
