Wesley Ave, Evanston
Wesley Ave is a new construction single-family home. The home is oriented to be south-facing and opens up to expansive views of Canal Shore Golf Course and surrounding native habit. The building is planned on an efficient footprint to reduce overall costs and maximize exterior land use, yet the compact plan includes generous public spaces throughout. The private primary suite with deck crowns the top floor, with a modern open stair connecting to the floors below. A screened-in porch expands the living/dining areas to the South and protective overhangs create additional elevated outdoor area shaded from the sun. The lower level has been designed to be its own self-contained studio.
The building is built from Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) to create an airtight, well insulated building envelope. This is paired with an extremely efficient space heating & cooling system and an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) to provide continuous fresh air. It has a 400% efficient air source heat pump water heater, induction cooking, and is an all-electric home. Per the latest building codes, the home is EV and solar PV ready.
