HEAT REFLECTING ROOF
Thanks to light colors and a barrel curve, the roof reflects more of the sun’s energy, reducing the HVAC load.


SOLAR HOT WATER
Rooftop panels supply most of each unit’s hot water requirements.


DURABLE EXTERIOR
Stucco, Hardiplank, and IPE lumber create a highly durable, varied exterior.


SUN BLOCKING DORMERS
By cantilevering over garage doors, IPE (Ironwood)-clad rainscreens reduce unwanted solar heat gain in those bays.


WATER FRIENDLY SURFACES
All walkways and open areas not covered by the building structure are either water permeable or drain into infiltration areas such as raised plant beds. These strategies reduce the amount of runoff going to city sewers.


The striking central courtyard cleverly combines shared space and private deck areas with the help of subtle screens of frosted glass. The durable exterior (above) should save on long-term maintenance and ecological costs.
