The owners of this home wanted a barn house that would
reflect their commitment to sustainable farming, draw on the natural serenity
of the site and build on the sense of place in western Petaluma, CA where
farming and ranching are still a part of people’s daily lives.
The house is certified LEED Platinum and features a number
of energy saving features exceeding title 24 by over 50 percent. Passive
heating and cooling with thermal mass and insulation, Geothermal, radiant
cooling and heating along with solar and photovoltaic panels contribute to the
house’s energy efficiency.
An essential part of the design, the landscaping, includes
several outdoor living areas, organized along a riparian restoration and native
plantings.
It is clean and white for sure
