This new Tudor style home is
an infill project, replacing an existing pre-war house in a
developed in-town neighborhood.
The house was designed to fit contextually with
the existing housing stock while providing the amenities that
today's homeowners demand. The entire project will adhere to
the principles of green building and the EarthCraft House program:
Energy Efficiency, indoor Air Quality, Sustainable material use and
Durable construction methods. Among the cutting edge green
techniques being considered are recycling the structural and finish
materials of the house to be removed, high efficiency dual fuel or
geothermal HVAC systems, rainwater reclamation, and a vegetated
roof. The home will feature the latest home technology in the
areas of entertainment, security, home automation and communication.
