| Thomas Eco House, Stanwood, USA |
 |
| The Thomas family in Washington State wanted an eco-home that would be as energy efficient and sustainable as possible, and that would require the barest amount of maintenance. That's exactly what Designs Northwest Architects gave them in this attractive four-storey home with a small footprint. Thanks to geothermal heating, thermal massing, cutting edge insulation technology and passive solar design, this project requires 44% less heat and 33% cooling than its competition. Located on an 11 acre site in Stanwood, Washington with views of the iconic Mt. Rainier, this striking family home has achieved the ultimate in energy efficiency with high and low technology, and good old fashioned passive design. A geothermal pump that is also connected to a water boiler keeps the home warm, while the heat is maintained with insulated concrete form walls. |
