Custom Eco Home
Eco Home is a thoughtfully designed 1,914-square-foot, single-story home that balances sustainability and comfort. Its low, single-sloped roof with extended overhangs is carefully oriented to the south, optimizing passive solar design—capturing the winter sun to naturally warm the interior while shielding against the intense summer heat. The open-concept living area takes full advantage of this southern exposure, creating a bright, spacious environment perfect for modern living. Beneath the surface, a polished concrete slab with 6 inches of insulation provides radiant heat, offering superior thermal comfort and ensuring a clean, low-maintenance living space. The 12-inch thick double-wall envelope ensures exceptional insulation, transforming the house into a super-insulated, energy-efficient retreat. The exterior, clad in Shou Sugi Ban siding, provides a visually striking yet earthy, tactile finish, fusing modern aesthetics with natural, sustainable materials. Designed with passive strategies at its core, this home fosters a seamless connection between architecture and the environment.
