The 'Life Cycle' home showcases a thoughtful design emphasizing passive solar principles and natural materials to create an unassuming yet functional living space. The layout accommodates family needs with private and communal areas, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor spaces. Strategic window placement and features like a thermal chimney and edible gardens work together to optimize comfort and minimize environmental impact, achieving a 79% reduction in global warming potential. The design promotes neighborhood engagement, reflecting its identity through interactions with the surrounding environment.
Our ethos of 'building as background' guides layout, detailed planning, and articulation, creating a home functional yet unassuming, resonating warmth through natural elements.
Design decisions were driven by a life cycle assessment and passive solar, leading to a simple and modest addition that balances building and open space.
