Photography by Jim Tetro This house, built in the 1960s, sits southfacing on a terrific wooded lot in Bethesda, Maryland. The owners desire a whole-house renovation which would improve the general building fabric and systems, and extend the sense of living out of doors in all seasons. The original sixties-modern character is preserved and the renovation extends the design forward into a contemporary, modern approach. Connections to and through the site are enhanced through the creation of new larger window and door openings. Screened porches and decks perch above the sloped and wooded site. The new kitchen and bathrooms allow for opportunities to feel out-of -doors while preparing, cooking, dining, and bathing. Smart passive strategies guide the environmental choices for this project, including envelope improvements, updated mechanical systems, and on-site stormwater management.

Design ideas for a modern front yard stone landscaping in Austin.

The design applies passive and active sustainability strategies. Passive strategies include site orientation, concrete floors, efficient circulation, and a well-insulated envelope. The site also includes a 12.64 kW photovoltaic array—according to projections provided by Elemental Energy’s Solar Owner’s Manual, the array is expected to provide a 129% energy offset, saving $49,000 in electrical utility costs over its lifetime. This translates into 218 tons of carbon dioxide offset and 34 cars off the road.
