Flexible Future
This horizontal plan takes advantage of a wider lot, with state-of-the-art building science and flexible framing that allows rooms to be reconfigured later.


 


EARTH-SAVING IDEA
You’ll notice that many of the rooms on the plan are referred to as “modules.” That’s because they’re designed for easy modification, giving owners an incentive to remodel this home later, rather than moving out.

GREEN HIGHLIGHTS

The rear patio area allows easy access to field lines for the home’s water source heat pump.


D
The floor of the south-facing dining room is fitted with dark tile to absorb the sun’s heat during the day.


E
Skylights with foil-faced ductwork bring sunlight into the home, reducing lighting demands.

A conditioned mechanical room with solar hot water tank is placed directly below the likely place for solar panel installation.
