New Home - Modern & Efficient
by Chris Donatelli Builders
This new home was a ground up build for us. Standard framing was used in conjunction with spray foam insulation and air sealing to establish a tight envelope (to fight against infiltration and energy loss). Interior air was kept fresh and healthy my using low VOC finshes and heat recovery ventilation. Style is open with lots of natural light. Two wings on second floor separate adult and kids spaces. Simple finishes and trim accentuate overall layouts and space. Solar power and hot water systems were added later.

A circular kitchen layout provides plenty of room for family members to share space. Island provides sitting and eating area (especially for kids). Simple cabinet design and hardware, along with neutral countertops, plays to modern style.

The modern architecture of the home creates numerous lines that catch the eye. A variety of windows (and an opaque garage) create a fun night-time scene that warms the lines of the home.
