Passive House Design

This project was built for a client who wants to be able to recharge and re-coop in a private space without having to leave their property. They requested an area that can also double as an office and guest suite. The concept behind the design is to renew and rebuild. Using passive concepts and materials that are considered renewable will illustrate the connection of a relaxing space that is sustainable

Wall Detail

Triple pane windows allow for additional insulation and play a key role in passive solar heating. The walls are a minimum of 1’ in thickness and all insulation is of a high R rating with mineral wool. The key in passive design is looking at all the ways space can take advantage of the elements while remaining protected from energy loss.
