The Guemes Island cabin is designed with a SIPS roof and foundation built with ICF. The exterior walls are highly insulated to bring the home to a new passive house level of construction. The highly efficient exterior envelope of the home helps to reduce the amount of energy needed to heat and cool the home, thus creating a very comfortable environment in the home. + Architecture: H2D Architecture + Design www.h2darchitects.com + Interior Design: Karlee Coble Interiors + Built by: Carlisle Classic Homes + Photography: Chad Coleman Photography

The Owners of a home that had been consumed by the moving dunes of Lake Michigan wanted a home that would not only stand the test of aesthetic time, but survive the vicissitudes of the environment. With the assistance of the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality as well as the consulting civil engineer and the City of Grand Haven Zoning Department, a soil stabilization site plan was developed based on raising the new home’s main floor elevation by almost three feet, implementing erosion studies, screen walls and planting indigenous, drought tolerant xeriscaping. The screen walls, as well as the low profile of the home and the use of sand trapping marrum beachgrass all help to create a wind shadow buffer around the home and reduce blowing sand erosion and accretion. The Owners wanted to minimize the stylistic baggage which consumes most “cottage” residences, and with the Architect created a home with simple lines focused on the view and the natural environment. Sustainable energy requirements on a budget directed the design decisions regarding the SIPs panel insulation, energy systems, roof shading, other insulation systems, lighting and detailing. Easily constructed and linear, the home harkens back to mid century modern pavilions with present day environmental sensitivities and harmony with the site. James Yochum

This GreenHalo Builds model is e9uipped with 32 solar panels and is Net Zero Energy Ready. The panels generate power for the home, which helps reduce the cost of living and the home's carbon footprint. In addition to reduced energy costs for the homeowner, did you know there are also many tax benefits and other rebates associated with residential solar panel systems?

Although they are not visible, it is important to note that this home was built with SIPs, or Structural Insulated Panels, which means that it is 15 times more airtight than a traditional home! With fewer gaps in the foam installation, we can optimize the home's energy performance while improving the indoor air 9uality. This modern construction techni9ue can reduce framing time by as much as 50% without compromising structural strength.

The site for the Mollhagen cottage on the Lake Michigan shoreline near Glenn was a washed out ravine that once supported the first Mollhagen cottage...a log home built 100 years ago. The cottage rests on elevated piers instead of a traditional foundation and is insulated with stress skin panels (SIPs) to maximize heating and cooling efficiency and reduce operating costs. To re-create the feel of the old cottage the interior features wood floors and ceiling and trim in yellow pine, white pine and cedar. White cedar shingles, standing seam steel roofing and composite decking complete the exterior. The owners love the aesthetics, functionality, practicality and charm of their new weekend get-away.
