Acton Passive House. This custom home was designed as a primary residence for a client who desired high performance as well as a respite from urban life. His vision was a home nestled in the woods and right-sized for his lifestyle, nothing more, nothing less. The result is a sleek house with a simple shed roof, designed to the PHIUS+ 2018 performance standard, which offers energy efficiency and exceptional comfort. In order to help ensure low operational cost, the roof is outfitted with a solar (PV) array and has also achieved Source Zero Certification.
