Zola European WindowsThis Boulder, Colorado remodel by fuentesdesign demonstrates the possibility of renewal in American suburbs, and Passive House design principles. Once an inefficient single story 1,000 square-foot ranch house with a forced air furnace, has been transformed into a two-story, solar powered 2500 square-foot three bedroom home ready for the next generation.
The new design for the home is modern with a sustainable theme, incorporating a palette of natural materials including; reclaimed wood finishes, FSC-certified pine Zola windows and doors, and natural earth and lime plasters that soften the interior and crisp contemporary exterior with a flavor of the west. A Ninety-percent efficient energy recovery fresh air ventilation system provides constant filtered fresh air to every room. The existing interior brick was removed and replaced with insulation. The remaining heating and cooling loads are easily met with the highest degree of comfort via a mini-split heat pump, the peak heat load has been cut by a factor of 4, despite the house doubling in size. During the coldest part of the Colorado winter, a wood stove for ambiance and low carbon back up heat creates a special place in both the living and kitchen area, and upstairs loft.
This ultra energy efficient home relies on extremely high levels of insulation, air-tight detailing and construction, and the implementation of high performance, custom made European windows and doors by Zola Windows. Zola’s ThermoPlus Clad line, which boasts R-11 triple glazing and is thermally broken with a layer of patented German Purenit®, was selected for the project. These windows also provide a seamless indoor/outdoor connection, with 9′ wide folding doors from the dining area and a matching 9′ wide custom countertop folding window that opens the kitchen up to a grassy court where mature trees provide shade and extend the living space during the summer months.
With air-tight construction, this home meets the Passive House Retrofit (EnerPHit) air-tightness standard of
Du Bois Design LtdThe brief was for an alluring and glamorous looking interior
A bathroom which could allow the homeowner couple to use at the same time.
Mirrors were important to them, and they also asked for a full-length mirror to be incorporated somewhere in the space.
The previous bathroom lacked storage, so I designed wall to wall drawers below the vanity and higher up cabinetry accessed on the sides this meant they could still have glamourous looking mirrors without loosing wall storage.
The clients wanted double basins and for the showers to face each other. They also liked the idea of a rain head so a large flush mounted rainhead was designed within the shower area. There are two separate access doors which lead into the shower so they can access their own side of the shower. The shower waste has been replaced with a double drain with a singular tiled cover – located to suite the plumbing requirements of the existing concrete floor. The clients liked the warmth of the remaining existing timber floor, so this remained but was refinished.
The shower floor and benchtops have been made out the same large sheet porcelain to keep creating a continuous look to the space.
Extra thought was put towards the specification of the asymmetrical basins and side placement of the mixer taps to ensure more usable space was available whilst using the basin.
The dark navy-stained wire brushed timber veneer cabinetry, dark metal looking tiles, stone walls and timber floor ensure textural layers are achieved.
Pu'uwai Design & ConstructionThe master bathroom boast double showers and double vanities. The shower walls are tiled with a large grass porcelain tile, and complemented by a white and black pebble accent strip at the shower heads. The shower floor is brown pebbles and the built-in soaking tub is tiled with the same gray porcelain tile to match the walls and flooring. The vanity wall is tiled with a stacked stone tiles creating drama and elegance. The white shaker cabinets are floating giving a modern flair to a traditional style. The mirror is white to match the vanities and the vanity tops are natural wood. The half vessel sink is white porcelain and the fixtures are oil rubbed bronze by Kohler. The black hardware on the cabinets continues the black and white theme throughout.
