Peaceful Place
With a layout that’s traditional—different rooms for different purposes—this flexible home offers an eco-friendly lifestyle without sacrificing privacy.


 


EARTH-SAVING IDEA
The planners recommend that this home be pre-plumbed and pre-wired for future PV and solar hot water panels. That’s assuming, of course, that you don’t install them now. The cost of prepping the home during construction is a fraction of what it would cost if you add solar features later.
