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.

The classic, transitional design of the Weatherford ceiling fan by Monte Carlo has a 52” blade sweep and is wet-rated to use outdoors as well as indoors, and is ENERGY STAR®-qualified for those focused on energy efficiency. Offered in three finish combinations to highlight any décor, the fan features three-speed pull chain operation with a manual reverse switch and is also compatible with the NEO remote control (either hand held or wall mount) sold separately. Enabling further customization, a variety of light kits and fitters are also available.

Drawing on early 20th century details, we created a storefront with a galvanized awning suspended by iron cables, designed a custom metal sign, and fitted out the ground-level windows and door with brush-painted woodwork and pull shades. Wood treads on the staircase have inset patinated diamond plate panels, and an iron catwalk extending from the loft area replicates a fire escape. Then there were the cars. Highlighting the racy lines and full-volume colors of the vehicles required a flexible lighting design and control system. Energy efficient fluorescent was supplemented by caged accent lighting at the shop desk and storefront, and garage bay doors could be opened wide to let natural light flood in. When the client enters the space, low-voltage spots glow “dim,” then amp up slowly. The owner calls the effect “zoomy.”

Basement storage area turned into a fantastic wine tasting room and temperature controlled wine cellar. Natural, neutral materials create the perfect ambiance to enjoy your collectibles. A glass wall separating the wine cellar from tasting room allows for absolute comfort. Individual bottles, diamond bins, arched accent and custom moldings really bring these spaces together. Incredibly quiet and efficient wine cellar cooling system.

Motorized window treatments are becoming increasingly popular for those in the market for shades and blinds who want the convenience and luxury that automated treatments provide. Motorized window treatments offer a host of benefits compared to manually operated shades and blinds. For starters, motorized window treatments make it much easier to control the amount of light entering a room. Instead of laboriously reaching up to manually adjust each shade or blind, you can adjust all of them at once with the simple press of a button. This is especially useful in rooms with large windows or homes that use natural light as an energy-efficient alternative to artificial lighting.
