Contemporary Home in Charlotte's First Solar Community

Chelsea Building Group

Situated in the heart of Charlotte, this contemporary home is part of the ReAlta neighborhood. ReAlta is the first solar community in Charlotte, NC. The ReFresh plan boasts an expansive rooftop deck, a private master suite at the back of the home, a light and airy front office and more windows than we can count. What the homeowners love: Huge energy savings from the solar & energy saving build process Super quiet interior rooms (from the insulated interior walls) Large windows placed for optimal sunlight and privacy from the neighbors Smart home system that's part of the house Low, low utility bills (resulting from the solar and the home's thermal envelope) ReFresh is a 3 bed, 2.5 bath home and is 2,450 square feet. With ReAlta, we are introducing for the first time in Charlotte a fully solar community. Each beautifully detailed home will incorporate low profile solar panels that will collect the sun’s rays to significantly offset the home’s energy usage. Combined with our industry-leading Home Efficiency Ratings (HERS), these solar systems will save a ReAlta homeowner thousands over the life of the home. Credit: Brendan Kahm

Eastern Exposure with Completed Addition

Bradley Builders

Custom matched masonry can be seen in the exterior elevation. Portions of the old bricks were hand picked, saved and used for the new application in order to maintain continuity. The existing synthetic deck was salvaged and modified to reduce cost while still providing a great finished look. The back windows, trim and roofing on this cottage style home give the perfect contrast to the brick exterior. A new high efficiency condenser discretely placed near the fence line, provides ample cooling while saving energy.
