This space was a tad chaotic; originally hosting the husbands tapes, glues, fabric paint, vitamins and more. We re-invented this space as their vitamin, coffee and tea station with a little extra room to store their pet's vitamins and supplements too. -Brianna Celeste

Inside and out, this is a complete “green” house. Designed using Passive House methodology with energy consultant CTI, the house achieves 70% better energy performance than a new built-to-code house, while stylishly fitting the block. Walls and roofs were constructed from 12” Structural Insulated Panels, and triple-glazed Loewen windows completed the high-performance thermal package. Materials and fixtures were selected for efficiency, recycled content, local production, non-toxicity, and durability. Landscape design uses native plantings, a water garden, and permeable paving. As an all-electric house, it uses heat pumps for space conditioning and water heating, and features a pellet stove for supplemental space heating.

Given a very limited time frame, we were asked to assist a client in downsizing their home of 40 years into a small condominium. Our challenge was to determine which items would be preserved and incorporated into the new space and how to integrate supplemental furniture and art with those well-loved retained pieces.

Through careful design and detailing, the LEED-Platinum building starts with a low energy load and supplements energy needs through a closed-loop ground source heat pump and photovoltaic array.
