Scope Of Work
Nestled on the bluffs of the Brazos River, our client envisioned a self-sufficient cabin in a park-like atmosphere. Working in sync with our designer, we imbued the home with respect for the land that surrounds it – without sacrificing comfort inside it.
This home – which has the fantastic HERS Index Score of 13 compared to the new home average of 100 – is powered by solar panels and supplied with 100% rainwater. The outdoor living areas are just as critical as the indoor living space, with natural limestone and crushed granite pathways weaving their way throughout the property, as well as a boardwalk down to the river. We took great care to protect the mature trees all along the way, leaving as small of a footprint on the undeveloped land as possible.
This home earned the distinction of being a 2019 Department of Energy Housing Innovation Winner.
