This exquisite small home demonstrates that a commitment to the design metrics of a passive house need not come at the expense of a delightful living environment. A single, split-level form under a sloping roof fits readily into the site, providing an efficient plan of living. Sleeping spaces are at ground level, with a self-contained space above for alternative uses, such as a guest suite or office. Careful attention to detail throughout has produced an exemplary and highly efficient house to enjoy into the future.
