Harwinton Passive House
When we say we need to build future friendly homes, this is what we mean. This is the first Certified Passive House built in CT and our first CT Net Zero Challenge award winner. The home is equipped with the capacity to produce as much energy as it consumes on an annual basis – including the capacity to power an electric vehicle! It goes beyond Net Zero, it’s Net Positive! The house is nestled into the sloping terrain to get light into the finished areas on the lowest level. A two story central dining space with a dramatic open stair and stone clad wall adds excitement to the open plan. Then there are those iconic George Nelson pendant lights!
“Building our Passive House gave us the opportunity to walk the walk and be responsible energy consumers. We are certainly not the most earthy crunchy people you will ever meet but we care about the environment and are mindful of our personal impact upon it. We chose to build a house that we could live with, as well as live in. It would have felt wrong to do it any other way.”
