More work photos from a job site visit - this is a studio building under construction from drawings I produced. I love to see the structures take shape. The big hole in the roof will hold skylights.
Here's the studio in the left background, with the main house in front. It will be heated with a combination of geo-thermal and active and passive solar heat. The yard area between the house and where I am standing is where the geo-thermal pipes are buried, and you can see the solar panels on the roof. The windows and overhangs are sized to take best advantage of the sun in winter, and keep it from getting too much sun in the summer. I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how well the systems perform.
