Zola European WindowsThis Boulder, Colorado remodel by fuentesdesign demonstrates the possibility of renewal in American suburbs, and Passive House design principles. Once an inefficient single story 1,000 square-foot ranch house with a forced air furnace, has been transformed into a two-story, solar powered 2500 square-foot three bedroom home ready for the next generation.
The new design for the home is modern with a sustainable theme, incorporating a palette of natural materials including; reclaimed wood finishes, FSC-certified pine Zola windows and doors, and natural earth and lime plasters that soften the interior and crisp contemporary exterior with a flavor of the west. A Ninety-percent efficient energy recovery fresh air ventilation system provides constant filtered fresh air to every room. The existing interior brick was removed and replaced with insulation. The remaining heating and cooling loads are easily met with the highest degree of comfort via a mini-split heat pump, the peak heat load has been cut by a factor of 4, despite the house doubling in size. During the coldest part of the Colorado winter, a wood stove for ambiance and low carbon back up heat creates a special place in both the living and kitchen area, and upstairs loft.
This ultra energy efficient home relies on extremely high levels of insulation, air-tight detailing and construction, and the implementation of high performance, custom made European windows and doors by Zola Windows. Zola’s ThermoPlus Clad line, which boasts R-11 triple glazing and is thermally broken with a layer of patented German Purenit®, was selected for the project. These windows also provide a seamless indoor/outdoor connection, with 9′ wide folding doors from the dining area and a matching 9′ wide custom countertop folding window that opens the kitchen up to a grassy court where mature trees provide shade and extend the living space during the summer months.
With air-tight construction, this home meets the Passive House Retrofit (EnerPHit) air-tightness standard of
Amy Pearson DesignRelocating to Portland, Oregon from California, this young family immediately hired Amy to redesign their newly purchased home to better fit their needs. The project included updating the kitchen, hall bath, and adding an en suite to their master bedroom. Removing a wall between the kitchen and dining allowed for additional counter space and storage along with improved traffic flow and increased natural light to the heart of the home. This galley style kitchen is focused on efficiency and functionality through custom cabinets with a pantry boasting drawer storage topped with quartz slab for durability, pull-out storage accessories throughout, deep drawers, and a quartz topped coffee bar/ buffet facing the dining area. The master bath and hall bath were born out of a single bath and a closet. While modest in size, the bathrooms are filled with functionality and colorful design elements. Durable hex shaped porcelain tiles compliment the blue vanities topped with white quartz countertops. The shower and tub are both tiled in handmade ceramic tiles, bringing much needed texture and movement of light to the space. The hall bath is outfitted with a toe-kick pull-out step for the family’s youngest member!
Fresh Air Designs, Inc.This urban young-professionals kitchen is the perfect space that combines efficiency with traditional influences. The flat-panel warm cherry cabinets add rich color to this very clean-cut exterior. With additional inserts such as double tier cutlery and drawer spice inserts, this kitchen maximizes its storage potential. The triple aluminum-framed glass doors allow for a grand display case that is highlighted by LED lighting. This space pops with light and warmth with its complimentary warm woods and bright fixtures.

Michelle MasoneA cream and gray 12x24 Italian Eramosa porcelain tile that resembled linear-cut travertine was used in a subway pattern on the walls and a stacked pattern on the floors. A matching 2x2 tile completed the shower floor, which was enclosed with a custom rolling glass shower door (to maximize the narrow space) on top of a white quartz curb. Glass shelves, a modern low-flow Delta shower fixture, and recessed LEDs completed the shower area. An oval freestanding tub with floor mounted contemporary tub filler created a zen-like feel in this master bath. As an added luxury, a custom NuHeat radiant floor mat was installed beneath the new tile, which serves as the primary (and efficient!) heat source for the bathroom.

BasementByDesignEnter this discrete wine cellar through an arched cherry wood door with beveled glass. With a capacity of over 200 bottles, this design was no small feat to achieve, but was absolutely worth it; it’s incredibly space-efficient location under the staircase allows two people to comfortably explore your wine collection. The cherry wood wine racks match the dark espresso stained wood of the kitchen and shelving around the fireplace. Notice the additional drawers under the stairs - useful for the adjacent kitchen and bar area!

Passive Design SolutionsThis house was built as a testing ground for refining assembly, trying new details, and simplifying mechanical tweaks. It was designed as a stock plan, taking into account the wedge-shaped lot common to new suburbs. A large, south-facing great room brings bright south light into the home, uncommon in a neighborhood where the same design is reused over and over regardless of orientation. The exterior styling references the classic suburban architecture of the 20th century, while keeping the finishes maintenance-free. As a spec house and also a fully certified Passive House, this home demonstrates the perfect balance between cost-effectiveness and cutting edge energy performance.
