This certified Passive house, designed by Kaplan Thompson Architects and built by Shelterwood Construction, was designed for a couple with a large extended family. The attached barn also houses a net-zero yoga studio. This 3 bedroom 2.5 bath home is 2500 sqft. The project goals were a well designed, energy efficient design with careful craftsmanship and execution of the design goals. The downstairs houses the master bedroom and is designed to be wheelchair accessible as the owners age in place. The yoga studio, located in the barn, is also prepped to be turned into a caretaker’s apartment if needed.
