THE SUN/EARTH HOME  The
Sun/Earth Home combines traditional Georgian rural form, proportion and
simplicity of plan with modern house building technology. Partially earth
sheltered and heated with a passive solar design (diagram here), The Sun/Earth Home gives tremendous
value by making functional use of all available building volume and by energy
conservation.
Advances in building technology over the last decade are incorporated in
this innovative home: high performance windows; air barriers; in-slab hydronic
heating; and heat recovery ventilation. The result is warm floors and
light-filled fresh interiors with 9' ceilings on the ground floor increasing to
18' ceiling in the dining atrium and 8' ceilings on the second floor.
The simplicity of Robert Beckett's contemporary interpretation provides
a satisfying relationship between the house and the surrounding wooded setting.
Open interiors: 9' windows; 9' ceilings on the ground floor, increasing to an 18' ceiling in the dining atrium, and 8' ceilings on the second floor Design excellence: Robert Beckett, Architect Top quality materials: Enduring value is designed and built into every Sun/Earth Home in the form of quality materials. Some of these are visible. Others may be hidden from view but are critical, nonetheless, to your comfort and sense of harmony. ELEVATIONS- click to view | |
