This is a very interesting new house I designed in Weston, CT that will be a near net-zero energy house. At 3,500SF , the home will boast 3-bedrooms with a detached 700SF Art Studio.

​

It will be constructed using “Insulating Concrete Forms” (ICFs) and the roof and exterior walls will be clad with standing seam metal. The windows will be triple pane tilt-turn from Europe.

​

The house will have radiant floor heating and an air-to-air heat pump for cooling.  Because of the air tightness of the exterior shell, the house will also have a heat recovery ventilation system to bring in fresh air.

​

The center of the house will feature a 25 foot high Living Room with a balcony and a bridge connecting two 2nd Floor Bedroom wings.  The house will be powered by at 14kW PV system. Construction is set to begin this fall.
