Dear Garden Associates, Inc.In the late summer heat the tomatoes and peppers are harvested on an almost daily basis as are their companion herbs of basil, parsley and thyme. The zucchini squash in its own bed needs the extra space given its large (and very decorative) leaves.

EcoCraft HomesEcoCraft Homes is proud to present Chelsea. This prefabricated ranch style home features single floor living with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms all contained in a spacious 1,400 square feet. The design balances classic and modern aesthetics with its flexible open layout and large high efficiency windows that immerse the home in natural light. The classic exterior fits into any outdoor scene, while the contemporary metal roof only hints at the sustainable and durable products used to construct this modular masterpiece. Enjoy time on the large deck outdoors or escape to the covered portion of the patio — better yet find solace in the silent confines of the home made possible through our modern building techniques, superior walls, and quiet mechanicals. Intelligently engineered to be sustainable and efficient, the Chelsea is at the forefront of modern modular building.
BARRETT STUDIO architectsUnder our client’s encouragement and desire for a near zero-energy design, this hybrid home is a skillful integration of modern architecture and sustainable building science.
The design weaves natural materials and clean visual detailing to achieve an organic modern aesthetic while applying OVE (Optimum Value Engineering) framing techniques, insulation over the sheathing, sprayed foam insulation, and blower door testing to construct a tight building envelope, thus minimizing energy impact.
The building systems include passive solar design, directionally tuned glazing, high efficiency multi-zoned radiant heat, EPA approved biomass heat, and solar thermal / photovoltaic panels for energy generation.
The result is a beautiful, near zero-energy urban home.

Continuing the conscious systems approach in HVAC, an HRV (Hear Recovery Ventilator) and high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) AC system couple with natural ventilation through motorized awning windows.
The result is a beautiful, near zero-energy urban home that embraces its owners’ ecological sensibilities as it embraces a private courtyard haven.

Mantell-Hecathorn BuildersPerched high above the award-winning Mountain Course Hole #3 in the beautiful private golf community of Glacier Club, this exquisite home is the collaborative masterpiece of Architects Jon Pomeroy & John Courter, and Master Green Builders Greg & Hunter Mantell-Hecathorn. The complexity of the design and the challenging site make this home a striking combination of art, engineering, and high-performance building science. The contemporary design elements and incorporation of warm natural wood throughout the home create a modern and clean, yet comfortable environment for the Homeowner. Meticulously placed lighting, steel and glass accentuates custom details and the unique finishes. Like all homes by M-H Builders, this home was efficiently built using advanced building science techniques, highest quality materials and has undergone significant testing by an Independent, Certified Third-Party Energy Rater. This home achieved an impressive HERS® score of 20, which makes it 80% more efficient than a standard Code-Built home.
Michael Lewis Architects PCSimilar in form to the MLA Glow House, this cozy lodge is laid out with extreme efficiency in mind. Weighing in at a mere 20’-0” x 21’-0”, it has very low impact on the land, with minimalism in mind throughout all of the details. Despite the space saving techniques employed at the stair and circulation, kitchen appliances, and even with the furniture layouts, this cabin still maintains a loft-like, open interior.
While most appropriate for a hilly or flat site, the compact form of the Mini Glow House can be adapted to virtually any site. Despite a small footprint, it comfortably sleeps two with additional room for guests.
