This new residence in an outlying town of Boston seeks energy efficiency within a neighborhood context. The building form maximizes south facing roof area to allow for a roof mounted photovoltaic array and south facing glazing to optimize solar gain. The front gable roof will house solar domestic hot water panels on its south-east facing slope. A portion of the façade turns to address the street, preserving a formal and traditional street presence, and fitting within the context of the neighborhood. This beautiful, light-filled home offers connections to the outdoors. The house will be super-insulated, with an R-20 basement, R-40 walls, and an R-60 roof. Heating will be provided by an air-source heat pump system. The home is net-zero and LEED platinum targeted. Construction is underway and completion is anticipated by fall 2011.
