Newly built home to Passive House standards. The design of the home was conceived to be energy efficient and low-maintenance inside and out. The design supports aging in place with a ground floor master suite and accessible design. The interior engages the outdoors using strategically placed views, sun up to sundown day lighting; the layout encourages movement to keep the family feeling active even through the long winter.
The landscaping is designed for minimal maintenance and maximum nature and incorporates an eco-lawn and a small wildflower field. Both these areas only need mowing once a year, but provide visual interest in every season.
