Hidden Treasures
Along with a nifty courtyard and classic roof lines, this custom beauty also includes many behind-the-walls details that reduce its overall CO2 footprint.
EARTH-SAVING IDEA
Instead of paving the driveway, a permeable system would result in less storm water runoff. Options include interlocking pavers that let rain pass between them or a pervious concrete mix.

GREEN HIGHLIGHTS
A
Natural daylight flows into the home through the rear exposure, where tile and concrete floors absorb heat, releasing it slowly at night.
B
By framing with 2x6 studs at 24” OC, the home requires a third fewer studs, and cavities offer more room for insulation.
C
The design specifies triple-pane wood frame windows to maximize efficiency.
D
A wiring channel at the bottom of all exterior studs allows wiring to be run without interrupting or compressing the wall insulation.
E
Composite materials are used for all exterior siding, trim, columns, and porch flooring, which saves forest products and decreases maintenance.
F
A high-efficiency heat pump provides heating and cooling.
