About
Our Asta designs suit a growing family or perhaps a configuration that allows for a main level floor suite. The standard configuration is suitable for ageing in place with the master suite on the ground floor. Using a compact form, this home maximizes value for space by extending to a second floor where a flexible area, two bedrooms, and a bathroom are located. Asta is sure to stay true to all of the features of a high performance home – large south-facing triple-pane glazing, thick, super-insulated walls and roof, a dedicated fresh air heat recovery ventilation, and a panelized construction system that reliably delivers excellent airtightness to keep those drafts at bay and the heat this building naturally and passively retains where it’s needed most, keeping occupants comfortable year round through all kinds of weather. Designed to meet the Passive House Low Energy Building Standard (requiring 70% less energy to heat and cool than conventional construction), Asta also features a roof suitable for solar panels so that your home can achieve net zero, producing as much energy as it consumes.
Options
Style
Choose between two architectural styles with two corresponding floorplans. The traditional features a gable roof and an exposed glulam roof beam supporting the roof structure along with a wrap-around porch, while the modern design keeps the gable roof while also featuring double-height windows and an alternate recommended siding schedule. Both homes feature a mudroom rear entry, perfect for those muddy adventures outside.
Layout & Orientation
Collective Homes are designed for southern orientation. Standard layouts are offered for each architectural style.

Foundations and Basements
Our standard foundation design uses an ICF foundation system with a vented crawlspace and a site-built main level floor. Options for slab on grade, basement, or other site-specific designs are possible.
