After living in an earthship in New Mexico, this couple wanted a more practical, net-zero energy home for their retirement. A modest 1400sf, clerestory windows provide daylighting and passive solar heating. The house is super-insulated, per Passivhaus standards, with triple pane windows, 90% efficient heat-recovery ventilator for continuous fresh air, and a mini-split heat pump for heating when it’s needed. A single row of solar photovoltaics provide sufficient energy to make this home net zero on energy.

HandyMensch Our client’s contemporary home lacked sufficient storage space for their family. We worked with the client and our partners, to capitalize on the space available in the one car garage, to give them lots of storage and a great work area for projects. Adding a floor to the previously open attic space above the garage and a pull down set of steps means the client now has a useable space for off season storage. Installing insulation and drywall throughout the garage had a positive impact on the noise level and the temperature, and adding lighting and a window brightened the space and made it practical as a work space. Tailored Living designed and installed the slat wall, epoxy flooring, and storage units putting the finishing touch on a great garage makeover. The client not only has tons of storage space, a dedicated workspace for projects, but a beautiful and easy to maintain garage.

Set in Montana's tranquil Shields River Valley, the Shilo Ranch Compound is a collection of structures that were specifically built on a relatively smaller scale, to maximize efficiency. The main house has two bedrooms, a living area, dining and kitchen, bath and adjacent greenhouse, while two guest homes within the compound can sleep a total of 12 friends and family. There's also a common gathering hall, for dinners, games, and time together. The overall feel here is of sophisticated simplicity, with plaster walls, concrete and wood floors, and weathered boards for exteriors. The placement of each building was considered closely when envisioning how people would move through the property, based on anticipated needs and interests. Sustainability and consumption was also taken into consideration, as evidenced by the photovoltaic panels on roof of the garage, and the capability to shut down any of the compound's buildings when not in use.
