This may well be my favorite residential design. The Fureighs requested a Net Zero home. They are connected to the power grid, but the electric bill is solely for having said connection.

The solar panels power the house, workshop, and greenhouse. Cantilevered steel beams for the main level deck eliminated columns from the view of the walk-out basement bedrooms, secondary living room, kitchen, and Michael’s office.

The tall element is for Julie’s loft office. She worked closely with me on the design, and it turned out exactly as she wanted. They were awesome people to work with.
