English Residence by ZeroEnergy Design

ZED designed this LEED Gold certified residence to replace the original building and remained true to the family traditions that have developed since the land was purchased in 1958. Back then, as a botanist and a world class statistician, the client’s parents each followed the academic calendar enabling them to spend summers on the cape in rental home. Being conservation oriented, they planned to tread lightly on the property – imagining self sufficiency and living with the land in the simple, modern structure they would eventually commission.

The new home offers year round living and continues the legacy of a modern artistic home, treading lightly and focusing on the outdoor environment. New features include the clean, green feeling throughout the house, healthy indoor air quality, very comfortable and stable temperatures from the radiant floors, and exceptional energy performance with renewable energy systems. And, the artist family members immediately felt that the new home’s bright red, orange, and cedar colors really ‘made the house’.
