Completed in 2016, this open concept bungalow uses a mixture of rammed earth and timber frame construction. It is settled on a west facing slope and needed to be designed to comply with the local conservation authority. The home is also equipped with radiant in-floor heating and a water to water heat pump. A lifted roof line allows southern light to enter and passively warm the house. The home uses 66% less energy than typical homes.
