When downsizing to a town home it is important to take advantage of every inch available. This compact laundry area had a side by side washer and dryer and traditional laundry tub. The homeowner wanted a countertop to fold clothes, a place to hang hand washing and storage for laundry supplies. Designer Carol Kornak recommended stacking the washer/dryer and replacing the large laundry tub with a smaller sink allowing space for a folding area. To increase the counter space even more, a wood top was made to span the sink opening to create continuous counter space when needed. Finally, to add a little glam to a utility area, a glass tile backsplash was added that is functional and beautiful.

Essential, contemporary, and inviting defines this extremely energy efficient, Energy Star certified, Passive House design-inspired home in the Pacific Northwest. Designed for an active family of four, the one-story 3 bedroom, 2 bath floor plan offers tasteful aging in place features, a strong sense of privacy, and a low profile that doesn’t impinge on the natural landscape. This house will heat itself in the dead of winter with less energy than it takes to run a hair dryer, and be sensual to live in while it does it. The forms throughout the home are simple and neutral, allowing for ample natural light, rich warm materials, and of course, room for the Guinea pigs makes this a great example of artful architecture applied to a genuine family lifestyle.
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. Natural daylight enters both from the tilt & turn and fixed windows in the living and dining areas, and through the terrace door that leads seamlessly outside to the natural landscape.
