This residence was our first collaboration with the Artisans Group, one of the foremost Passive House-focused architects in North America. The modern aesthetic, cantilevered design, and use of structural timbers made it a pleasure to design, fabricate, and install for our friends at Field Assembly and for the clients who moved in in 2021.
Utilizing our standard high performance building envelope package, the project is an outstanding example of pushing the envelope on energy efficiency, comfort, and quality in modern, forward-thinking construction.
