"Woodland Retreat"

PROJECT DESIGN IN-PROCESS

Nestled in the serene woods of New Hampshire, this innovative project entails the construction of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) designed to Passive House standards. The sustainable approach minimizes environmental impact by preserving the natural surroundings and removing only three trees. The ADU will be ingeniously built atop an existing barn foundation, blending modern living spaces with rustic charm. Emphasizing energy efficiency and eco-friendly design, the dwelling will showcase cutting-edge technology to meet Passive House standards, ensuring optimal thermal comfort and minimal energy consumption. This harmonious integration of nature and architecture aims to provide a tranquil retreat while embodying a commitment to sustainable living practices.
