This four bedroom, four bath custom home features an open-style layout with soaring ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass, for panoramic private views out to undisturbed woodland. The owners requested that the site be carefully protected during construction so that the house could be close to the woods, with some landscaping but no lawn. To reach the house, visitors must be admitted through a gate and cross a bridge over a small stream.
The owners both suffer from allergies. They wanted an energy efficient house that would allow them to live in their home symptom-free. An air-tight, well insulated thermal envelope combined with mechanical ventilation and good air filtration accomplished these goals.
Type: New Construction, Custom Green Home
