In celebration of Earth Day, let’s walk through the Lean On Me sustainable design features.
Large expanses of glass on the home are shaded by deep overhangs on the lower level, and a custom wood screen on the upper level, lowering solar heat gain and allowing the HVAC systems to work less hard to cool the home in summer. The home was also designed with many sustainable-ready options the clients could implement in the future. The roof of the second level was designed to easily implement rainwater harvesting in the future. The home was also wired to be solar-ready at initial construction, giving the clients the option to add solar panels down the road.
Since initial construction, both of these sustainable design options have been added to the home. If sustainable design interests you, but may not fit your budget at the time, there are always options we can implement to make your project future-resilient and a little friendlier to our planet. 🌎 🌍 🌏
