Architecture You Can Feel

This home was designed to serve as reference for introducing sustainable Zero-Energy building practices to long-standing Minneapolis neighborhoods.

The simple exterior forms a tight thermal envelope that protects and supports low-energy, high-efficiency appliances the interior atmosphere relies on for daily life. Large windows and thoughtful apertures draw in light throughout the day without compromising the building’s performance.

The result is a Zero-Energy ready home that feels both distinct and comfortable—energy-efficient yet grounded in the day-to-day.

Designed Around Daily Life

Beyond its architectural presence, the home is built for how you actually live.

  • Open-concept main level designed for gathering

  • A kitchen that anchors the home with both function and style

  • Private upper-level spaces for rest and retreat

  • Flexible lower level for entertaining, work, or guests

Every space is intentional—balancing openness with privacy, and design with comfort.
