City Cabin

The City Cabin, designed by Olson Kundig, is targeted net-zero with a photovoltaic array, an air-to-water heat pump, a green roof, triple-glazed windows, low-energy appliances and low-flow plumbing fixtures. Passive solar strategies were also applied to optimize natural ventilation and light. This residence is a wild oasis within the city.
