Sweeping the 2006 Saratoga Showcase of Homes awards, this home is one of only a few that is certified as a “Healthy House” by the American Lung Association. Respectfully integrated into its natural surroundings, the home is environmentally conscious both inside and out. Timbers and natural stone are used densely throughout, aiding in the imitation of the surrounding environment and the seamless transition from the native landscaped outdoors to the eco-friendly interior. A clerestory is located over the middle of the living space inundating natural light to the entire home. High performance windows, a sealed combustion fireplace, roof mounted photovoltaic array and high-efficiency air filtration systems are in place to support low energy use.  The home is built with sustainable principles, techniques and materials making it durable, low maintenance and energy efficient.
