Style: Contemporary Ranch This passive-solar home was designed for a couple looking forward to retiring in their new low-maintenance energy-efficient home. With this couple still working today they will use the two guest sleeping areas for his and hers offices. The home flaunts spectacular views from their sleeping and great room areas. As you walk into the foyer from the covered porch you stand under an arched ceiling framing the view ahead. The workshop is part of the living space with radiant floor heating as the rest of the home provides. The ceiling height varies from 8’ to 12’ as the space demands. The design includes an overhead air conditioning and heat recovery ventilation system. Our 102-page Conservation Guide providing the latest in building science and proven cost-effective energy-saving features that you may incorporate in the construction of your new home is also included.
