Northwest Net Zero

New custom home, 5 bedroom, 4 bath, with 2-car attached garage.

The homeowners requested a Northwest lodge style house of durable commercial-grade construction to bear up to the elements and stand the test of time. The timber frame is crafted from Douglas fir, using modern power tools to fabricate traditional mortise and tenon joints fixed with oak pegs. Its strength and beauty are exposed to view on the finished interior.

Certified LEED for Homes Platinum, with 8kW photovoltaic array and 5,000 gallon potable rainwater collection system. Designed for net zero energy usage and net zero water usage, which means that all the energy and water the family uses inside the house will come only from the sunshine and rain that fall on its roof.
