2025

This home, now under construction, combines advanced building techniques and climate-conscious materials, starting with carbon-negative Hempwool insulation and a roof-mounted solar array with Tesla battery backup. The entire building envelope is carefully insulated, with all mechanical systems placed inside conditioned spaces to boost efficiency and air quality. Advanced framing minimizes lumber waste, while a high-efficiency heat pump water heater and a CERV system reduce energy use and utility costs. Locally milled poplar siding and reclaimed hardwood floors highlight a commitment to regional sourcing and resource conservation. With Zip sheathing enhancing airtightness, the home is designed to perform beautifully—for both people and the planet.
