Modern Victorian

Modern Victorian is a Custom Home designed be truly as energy efficient, comfortable, and healthy as possible.

Though not designed to be a passive house, this home was built to be extremely efficient. The house was air sealed on the exterior, covered with reclaimed exterior rigid foam, and then wrapped with a rain screen. The rigid foam eliminates almost all thermal bridging and the rain screen will ensure the siding and trim will last a lifetime.

Inside of the Victorian inspired exterior, the inside was designed to be as comfortable and healthy as possible. The home features a Radiant Heating and Cooling System and a Dedicated Outdoor Air System to bring fresh air into the home.

Because of the large trees on the property, a PV system was not a viable option at this time. However, the house was still wired to accept solar panels at a later time if they become feasible. The home will have Energy Star appliances and LED lighting.
