Featured on Home & Garden Television (HGTV) “Dream Builders” in 2002, this Hybrid Solar home features local green oak post & beam construction, with a straw bale north wall, passive cooling and ventilation, and an interconnected interior – exterior circular Zen water element. The south facing shallow “U – Shape” Floor Plan insures that every room in the home receives natural daylight throughout the day, and direct passive solar heat gain in the winter. Decks provide shade and passive cooling in the summer.
