ZeroEnergy Design (ZED) created this modern home for a progressive family in the desirable community of Lexington. Thoughtful Land Connection. The residence is carefully sited on the infill lot so as to create privacy from the road and neighbors, while cultivating a side yard that captures the southern sun. The terraced grade rises to meet the house, allowing for it to maintain a structured connection with the ground while also sitting above the high water table. The elevated outdoor living space maintains a strong connection with the indoor living space, while the stepped edge ties it back to the true ground plane. Siting and outdoor connections were completed by ZED in collaboration with landscape designer Soren Deniord Design Studio. Exterior Finishes and Solar. The exterior finish materials include a palette of shiplapped wood siding, through-colored fiber cement panels and stucco. A rooftop parapet hides the solar panels above, while a gutter and site drainage system directs rainwater into an irrigation cistern and dry wells that recharge the groundwater. Cooking, Dining, Living. Inside, the kitchen, fabricated by Henrybuilt, is located between the indoor and outdoor dining areas. The expansive south-facing sliding door opens to seamlessly connect the spaces, using a retractable awning to provide shade during the summer while still admitting the warming winter sun. The indoor living space continues from the dining areas across to the sunken living area, with a view that returns again to the outside through the corner wall of glass. Accessible Guest Suite. The design of the first level guest suite provides for both aging in place and guests who regularly visit for extended stays. The patio off the north side of the house affords guests their own private outdoor space, and privacy from the neighbor. Similarly, the second level master suite opens to an outdoor private roof deck. Light and Access. The wide open interior stair with a glass panel rail leads from the top level down to the well insulated basement. The design of the basement, used as an away/play space, addresses the need for both natural light and easy access. In addition to the open stairwell, light is admitted to the north side of the area with a high performance, Passive House (PHI) certified skylight, covering a six by sixteen foot area. On the south side, a unique roof hatch set flush with the deck opens to reveal a glass door at the base of the stairwell which provides additional light and access from the deck above down to the play space. Energy. Energy consumption is reduced by the high performance building envelope, high efficiency mechanical systems, and then offset with renewable energy. All windows and doors are made of high performance triple paned glass with thermally broken aluminum frames. The exterior wall assembly employs dense pack cellulose in the stud cavity, a continuous air barrier, and four inches exterior rigid foam insulation. The 10kW rooftop solar electric system provides clean energy production. The final air leakage testing yielded 0.6 ACH 50 - an extremely air tight house, a testament to the well-designed details, progress testing and quality construction. When compared to a new house built to code requirements, this home consumes only 19% of the energy.

Our clients’ primary goal for this remodel was to tone down the original Mediterranean style design, once popular in the Shadowbrook neighborhood, and replace it with a more contemporary style, lighter finishes, new cabinetry, lighting, and all new appliances.

Fortune three-light chandelier is a glamorous design with brilliant gleaming metalwork and K9 glass accents. Elegantly simple, the polished frame gracefully supports white diffusers and opal etched drum shades to provide pleasing, even illumination. Unique stem-hung construction carries the clean line all the way to the ceiling and, for sloped ceilings, 6 links of 9 gauge chain is provided to allow the fixture to hang straight and level.

This new master suite design began with a careful selection of materials, cabinetry, and flooring that took on the lifestyle and identity of the homeowners. The design started with a new stone floor that was chosen to complement the common-area stone throughout the home. We added a white shaker-style vanity that was topped with beautiful white quartz countertops to give the bathroom clean, understated elegance. The vanity was adorned with satin nickel hardware, three glass contemporary wall sconces, and new framed mirrors in matching cabinetry trim. By upgrading the electrical from recessed to LED lighting, we were not only able to modernize the space but improve the home’s energy efficiency.

Adding to the guesthouse vibe, an unused minibar was replaced with a custom built-in workstation that was designed into one corner of the downstairs bedroom and includes both closed storage and open shelving. A second low built-in was added to the space to provide even more storage and additional seating.
