A passive house built into the hillside. Rooftop photovoltaic array generates 18,000 kWh/year; ground-source heat pump provides heating and cooling.
Local bamboo and rammed earth walls. A 12-unit co-housing community with a rainwater harvesting system that meets year-round irrigation needs.
Natural daylighting design reduces lighting energy consumption by 70%. Cross-ventilation eliminates the need for year-round air conditioning.
Adaptive reuse of a former farmhouse. Original timber structure preserved, with solar tile roofing added.
Full lifecycle carbon neutrality. Prefabricated modular construction with zero on-site construction waste.
We don't chase certification labels.
What we pursue is a building
that still makes sense in 50 years —
standing soundly, consuming reasonably, aging gracefully.
