The house and property has been designed around the concept of creative decarbonization. This begins with high efficiency systems including all LED lighting with an cloud based lighting control system, high-efficiency mechanical systems, and increased insulation. However the real magic is in the reimagining of materials. The husband and wife design team worked with a variety of local sources to find existing products and materials that they able to salvage and bring new life into. From architectural elements that were creatively reimagined to add layers of visual interest to old growth wood  that was shaped, sanded, and refinished with no VOC oil to become interior walls and featured design elements.
