Details
Viewcrest is a 3,300 sq ft home intentionally designed to reduce building material, operate with efficient mechanical systems, and meet the highest standards of building performance. Instead of traditional 2×4 wall framing, the structure uses post and beam timbers to simplify and reduce the quantity of lumber used in the home. The home is ADA Accessible, and includes an additional dwelling unit to contribute to urban infilling.
Design
- Post and beam framing – super efficient timber use
- Exterior insulation to reduce thermal bridging
- Water and vapor barrier makes home air tight reducing heat loss through thermal convection and allowing for highly efficient mechanical ventilation
- ADU for urban infill
