Durable, natural and handsome materials such as stained cedar trim, natural stone veneer, and integral color plaster are combined with strong horizontal roof lines that emphasize the expansive nature of the site and capture the “bigness” of the view. Large expanses
project’s energy saving features include:
- a 5 kW roof mounted grid-tied PV solar array pays for most of the electrical needs, and sends power to the grid in summer 6 year payback!
- all native and drought-tolerant landscaping reduce irrigation needs
- passive solar design that reduces heat gain in summer
I was just wondering roughly what it cost per sq ft to lay this tile? I absolutely love this look and wondering if its too costly for us. We were considering hardwood with a custom stain but would rather go this route and have in idea the cost. Thanks!
