At the heart of the Owner’s objectives for this project were preservation and protection of the natural environment. Nestled into a steep hillside, the residence was designed with low visual and environmental impact on the surrounding landscape. The home is 100% powered by a photovoltaic energy system. LED lighting and low-usage appliances were selected to reduce energy demands and usage. The home has a private well and water treatment system; wastewater is directed to a septic tank and dry well. A green roof helps the home blend into its landscape, while conserving water.
