This passive solar addition transformed this nondescript ranch house into an energy efficient, sunlit, passive solar home. The addition to the rear of the building was constructed of compressed earth blocks. These massive blocks were made on the site with the earth from the excavation. With the addition of foam insulation on the exterior, the wall becomes a thermal battery, allowing winter sun to heat the blocks during the day and release that heat at night. The house was built with only non toxic or natural materials. Heat and hot water are provided by a 94% efficient gas boiler which warms the radiant floor. A new wood fireplace is an 80% efficient, low emission unit. With Energy Star appliances and LED lighting, the energy consumption of this home is very low. The addition of infrastructure for future photovoltaic panels and solar hot water will allow energy consumption to approach zero.

Movin on up from the tract homes of the Valley to the Ranch takes a shift in mindset, yet this couple also wanted to keep it real and practical for their growing family, house full of pets, and casual lifestyle. Inspired by a modern farmhouse aesthetic, this home was taken down to the bones and updated with a personal style of comfortable elegance while keeping the kids in mind.

Newly remodeled master bath. This couple was looking for a beach inspired theme. We chose a 12x24 tile that mimics the look of sand to use as the floor and wall tile. Chose a mountain rock for a border and mathcing mosiac for the shower floor.
