This home combines function, efficiency and style. The homeowners had a limited budget, so maximizing function while minimizing square footage was critical. We used a fully insulated slab on grade foundation of a conventionally framed air-tight building envelope that gives the house a good baseline for energy efficiency. High efficiency lighting, appliance and HVAC system, including a heat exchanger for fresh air, round out the energy saving measures. Rainwater was collected and retained on site.
Working within an older traditional neighborhood has several advantages including close proximity to community amenities and a mature landscape. Our challenge was to create a design that sits well with the early 20th century homes in the area. The resulting solution has a fresh attitude that interprets and reflects the neighborhood’s character rather than mimicking it. Traditional forms and elements merged with a more modern approach.

The Aquatica Bathtub Nordic Insulation System is a complete bathtub insulation system, designed for non-heater and certain heater equipped bathtub models installed in colder environments, designed to insulate and air seal all the bathtub inner surfaces, including the bathtub bottom. This premiere insulation system creates an air chamber that prevents heat loss; and maximizes energy efficiency which, of course, leads to energy savings. The Aquatica Bathtub Nordic Insulation System has been designed to work perfectly with the Aquatica Dual Wall solid surface superstructure. It creates a perfectly insulated, sound-proof, monolithic solid stone interior while benefiting from some substantial weight savings.

Three two-story floorplans provide 4 and 5 bedrooms, 2.5 to 3 baths and approximately 2,311 to 2,402 square feet of living space. With expansive layouts and upscale features, the LivingSmart® Homes designs also deliver a wealth of energy-saving, water-conserving, health-promoting and earth-friendly features.

The indirect lighting in the house is done with LED strips. We've used a whole 55 metres of them in our house to help create the perfect atmosphere.
Of course, the coloured lighting is controlled with the Miniserver - fully automatically with predefined scenes. With the app I can take over control and change the colours in whatever way I want. Even better: thanks to the 'learn mode' I can easily save colours and scenes via the app!

This new 6400 s.f. two-story split-level home lifts upward and orients toward unobstructed views of Windy Hill. The deep overhanging flat roof design with a stepped fascia preserves the classic modern lines of the building while incorporating a Zero-Net Energy photovoltaic panel system. From start to finish, the construction is uniformly energy efficient and follows California Build It Green guidelines. Many sustainable finish materials are used on both the interior and exterior, including recycled old growth cedar and pre-fabricated concrete panel siding.

The shingles themselves are the solar power source, with no shingle underneath or panel above. These integrated solar shingles blend and are more attractive than other solar roofing solutions.

This HydraLux slatted automatic pool cover was installed on this contemporary indoor pool near Cap Cod MA. The pool was designed by Aquatic Consultants Inc. (FL), and built by Aquaknot Pools (MA). The pool cover is mounted in the floor (Model #2) and uses the clear (w/blue tint) slats.

These Cleveland-area homeowners had to have a whole section of hardwood flooring replaced due to severe sun damage.
Their main concern was selecting a window film that could ensure the heat control, glare protection and UV control that they were looking for to keep their interiors protected.

Motorized, retractable Phantom Executive screens transform patios and porches into comfortable and welcoming outdoor living spaces. These motorized screens from The Shade Shop retract to be out-of-sight and out-of-mind until you decide you want to utilize them. When the summer sun feels a little harsh, put your solar mesh screens down with the touch of a button to shield the UV rays. Alternately, choose the insect mesh to allow for natural ventilation, while still keeping those pesky mosquitoes from entering your outdoor oasis.
