THE SOUTH FACE OF THE EXTERIOR, PRIOR TO INSTALLATION OF THE SAIL SHADES ON THE SOUTH AND WEST. THE ENTIRE HOME IS SIDED WITH CEDAR
This home is the second one I've designed which utilizes double stud wall construction and the third I've designed which was built by Driftless Homewrights of Soldiers Grove, Wisconsin. Construction was completed last fall.
Built using double stud wall construction, a super-insulated roof, and solar panels, this home not only achieved Net Zero Energy status, but actually generated more energy than it used during its first 8 months of occupancy. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has vaulted ceilings, a loft space and many custom features such as built-in seats and bookshelves framing the windows in the southeast corner of the family room.
Unfortunately, the drama of the 1-1/2 story vaulted ceiling is difficult to capture with a camera.
