At last! Eric Hausman took these in late summer, but I had to hold off making them public until some publications happened. Dwell website, Green Builder Magazine, Tribune, Crain's, to name a few...it's been a good run in the press. Awards too--USGBC Emerald Award, DOE Challenge Home Innovation Award, Green Builder "Best Behind the Walls" and a few others. Thanks to Brandon Weiss and Eric Barton for helping with the good exposure! Here's how the house turned out:
 |
| Southwest view--from garage to house. Cedar and the window cladding contrasting with the 2-texture siding |
 |
| South composition: solar gain as art... |
 |
| View from dining room to kitchen/back entry; indirect T5 uplighting was used throughout the house for ambient |
 |
| Zola windows--great looking European Passive House performance |
 |
| Stair as screen between entry and living spaces; built of yellow birch by Designed Stairs |
 |
| Evening shot of the front facade. |
Stay tuned for some philosophizing on design, and then the next projects. I'm very excited to be undertaking a series of smaller, more affordable Passive House designs. We're thinking nothing short of redefining the American home...
