314 Park
Coda Design + Build’s latest ecoBuild home, a 2,400 square foot empty-nester home in Wilmette.
ADDRESS: 314 Park Avenue, Wilmette, IL 60091
SIZE: 2,400 square feet
PROJECT TYPE: Single Family- New Construction
HOME DESCRIPTION:
The client is an empty nester who sought to build a green home in Wilmette. Previous homes she had built in the Northeast included green ideas and concepts, but she desired to expand from those restricted builds and create something for her current lifestyle, while planning ahead for future physical challenges if they were to occur.
314 Park includes a passive solar, double wall construction, low E windows and doors, light colored shingles, and a detached garage. The home also features paneling installed by Hardie, sun shades, spray foam insulation, energy star appliances, high efficiency furnaces and water heater, reclaimed finishes, low VOC cabinetry, and clean burning fireplaces. Tremendous amounts of passive solar heating and lighting pulse through double wall construction for a tight home. Reflective color shingles were installed to reduce heat gain, while sun shades were implemented to control the lighting, giving the home a remarkable atmosphere.
