Hearth Home
Designed for a family of five, the home’s layout is organized around a central hearth where the family gathers. As a focal point to this space, a three-sided glass fireplace and suspended brick chimney add function and visual weight. The home’s mid-century modern aesthetic highlights simple yet dynamic architectural forms. Classic materials—brick, stucco and glass—are highlighted with recycled-content synthetic-wood cladding and exposed concrete.
With any new custom residence, translating an owner’s thoughts, tastes, preferences and lifestyle into a well-designed home can be challenging. The home must also perform in a climate that presents the best and worst of seasonal changes.
This newly constructed residence utilizes energy-efficient glazing, hydronic slab heating and energy recovery systems. Some of the key features of this passive house design include radiant floor hydronic heating and zoned heating, cooling gas-fired tankless hot water heating system, and triple-pane passive house-certified windows. To achieve optimal energy, durability and comfort performance, the home has a continuous air barrier and continuous super insulation.
