The Clark Granby Residence is designed with Passive House detailing, which generally requires few corners due to considerable thermal bridging, resulting in boxy buildings. Our goal was to create a beautiful box, so we arranged the program into public, semipublic, and private spaces, then created three boxes to accommodate them. The home is also located in an environmentally sensitive area, so we elevated the boxes off the ground to allow for the earth's natural conveyance and for wild flora and fauna to continue to inhabit the project site.
