Double height windows in the open gallery of house Heartwood built by Stommel Haus in Aberdeenshire. The windows are triple glazed. The house is fitted with underfloor heating and Solar Ice Heating by Viessmann. Very low energy consumption. Untreated timber. No toxic materials used at all.

Named after a local crustacean, the Periwinkle Project design by Beaumont Concepts promotes harmony with the natural coastal surrounds and addresses sustainability from construction to consumption of resources over the life cycle of the home. The compact, cost effective home is successful in responding to constraints of the site. The home sits comfortably within the site and actively benefits from it with passive solar principals and energy efficiency and environmentally conscious provision of thermal mass.

Drought tolerant low consumption Blue Chalk Sticks (Senecio serpens) overhanging a custom concrete pathway with pea gravel and directional outdoor well light peeking through the center.

A Farm house on a 100 acre Llama farm set in mixed Hardwoods/Softwoods and pastures. The clients connect to daily rhythms of farm animal chores and relish neighborhood socializing. The kitchen supports this neighborhood hub and the culinary delights shaped in it! The house is super insulated and features a GeoThermal heating/cooling system, http://www.gagnongeothermal.com., Solar Electric panels, www.revisionenergy.com, for a 'net Zero' energy consumption. 3450 sf/320m - 3 bdrm + Garage/Apt

Madrona Passive House, a new Seattle home designed by SHED Architecture & Design and built by Hammer & Hand, combines contemporary design with high performance building to create an environmentally responsive and resource-efficient house. The home’s airtight, super-insulated building envelope and passive design minimize energy consumption while providing superior thermal comfort to occupants. A heat recovery ventilator supplies constant fresh air to the home’s interior while recovering 90% of thermal energy from exhaust air for reuse inside. A rooftop solar photovoltaic array will provide enough energy to offset most, perhaps all, of the home’s energy consumption on a net annual basis. To manage stormwater the project employs permeable pavers for site hardscape and two cisterns to capture and control rainwater from the home’s roof and the green roof on the garage. By investing in sustainable site development strategies, efficient building systems and an advanced envelope, the project aims to respect the home’s environmentally critical site and achieve one of the world’s most demanding building energy standards: Passive House.
