Envisioned as the Passive + Garden Home, the clients came to us seeking creative ways of maximizing indoor/outdoor gardening space with a functional and efficient living space. The property is situated on a quaint lower highland corner lot with south-west orientation. In front is a planter box that will invite the outdoors to begin the migration inside.

​

With the LoHi Passive House, we efficiently laid out interior finished spaces to relate to what was happening externally. Boasting 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and a large and open kitchen/living area, the upper level green spaces celebrates the living plants to coexist with the living inhabitants. At the 2nd level, the residents have a western facing roof deck for light gardening and afternoon enjoyment. An exterior stair connects grade to 2nd to roof deck, providing ample gardening opportunities.

 

High R insulation SIP walls and strategically located triple pane windows will round out the high performance building envelope. An ERV will provide continuous fresh air, and 4 mini-split heads will provide zone specific and efficient conditioning for all floors.
