Concord Green Home

http://www.zeroenergy.com

2011 EcoHome Design Award Winner

Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design I sourced the drapery hardware from Restoration Hardware, but I added a bronze patina finish. You can find instructions at my design blog:

abport Thank you! I just went to it on their website. I may have to have mine made as I prefer it not to be adjustable. My daughter has similar in her room and the rings get caught.

What Houzz contributors are saying:

added by Becky Harris to Houzz Tour: The Concord Green Healthy House

These doors provide a farmhouse vernacular detail on the bottom, and the glass on top allows the away room to share natural light with the dining room. When necessary, they can close off the away room, but they can be opened to make both spaces feel larger.Kauffman Tharp scored the candle lanterns from Vagabond Vintage and gave them a makeover that began with "a paint wash that looks like zinc," she says. "We tied them with thick, rough manila rope to plumbing pipe that spans between the ceiling beams (I did a bronze paint wash on the pipes to match the curtain rods). Battery-operated pillar candles from Restoration Hardware have built-in timers."Tip: "Hang natural linen draperies high and wide at the windows to add verticality to the space, while blocking none of the natural light," Tharp advises.

added by Becky Harris to Bright Light, Big Lantern

This designer added an aged zinc paint wash to a pair of lanterns found at Vagabond Vintage. She then hung them from pipes with rope, creating a unique and memorable lighting solution.

added by Rachel Grace to Renovation Detail: The Crossbuck Door

Interior designer Lisa Kauffman Tharp commissioned these custom interior crossbuck doors from Circle B Barns in Lancaster, Massachusettes.

cross buck doors

added by gnoni to Miscellaneous (12 months ago)

The crossbuck design features diagonal braces running in opposite directions, thus creating an X. Originally used for large-scale barn doors, this construction method offered structural support against sagging. Over the years, however, the design has emerged as more of a decoration than a construction necessity. Crossbucks can now be found everywhere, from vintage barns to modern lofts.
