This was whole house remodel of a 1906 shotgun cottage on a 50' X 52' lot. The house is now 1000 sq. ft. on the main level with 450 sq. ft. of loft space accommodating a guest bedroom and plumbed for a future guest bath. Passive cooling along with heavy insulating facators eliminates the need for air conditioning. Windows were placed to take advantage of the prevailing breezes. In cooler weather, the stone floors act as a thermal mass and retain heat from the day. Material and features include:
* Dual pane energy efficient exterior doors & windows were used.
* Rain gutters provide garden and landscape irrigation, and a programmable drip watering system is installed to minimize water usage.
* All wood species are sustainable with no old growth or exotic woods used.
* Countertops are sustainable and incorporate recycled materials.
* Low VOC coatings were used.
* All appliances are "Energy Star"
* All exterior and interior lighting uses energy efficient lamps.
