Located in the scenic Hudson Valley, this innovative residential project in Taghkanic, New York, is designed to be both energy-efficient and environmentally conscious. This home is set to achieve Passive House certification and meet rigorous standards including ENERGY STAR, Indoor airPLUS, and DOE Zero Energy Ready Home, ensuring top-tier sustainability, energy savings, and indoor air quality.

​

Built using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs), the home maximizes energy efficiency while offering structural integrity. Sited carefully to integrate with the natural topography, the design optimizes southern exposure for natural heating and scenic views. The house is thoughtfully divided into two main volumes: a private area dedicated to sleeping quarters, and a social area for communal activities. This configuration leverages the site’s orientation to allow natural cross-ventilation, passively cooling the home during warmer months.

​

With an integrated solar panel array, the home is entirely off-grid, harnessing renewable energy to support all electrical needs. This project exemplifies a harmonious blend of advanced building technology and sustainable design, offering a comfortable, eco-friendly living space in harmony with its environment.
