This custom home was designed by the Owner. It is a true reflection of their values and goals. Every detail of the structure was created to ensure High-Performance Energy Efficiency while influencing Style and Design elements to make it a comfortable space. It incorporates beautiful features such as the custom-forged steel screen at the front entrance handcrafted by Jake Blacksmith. One of the main benefits of Passive Houses are the high energy efficiency and comfort. These buildings must adhere to strict building criteria, consuming up to 90% less heating and cooling energy when compared to conventional buildings.
