Quality comes first As previously mentioned, Chris and Eleanor recently completed their own personal residence, which they designed and built to passive house standards. From the start of the process, achieving those standards was a goal they always had in mind. “We always knew we wanted a passive house,” Chris says. “That was our first priority.” “Next was designing a home that we could age in place in,” Eleanor adds. “Creating a forever home was high on our list. With that in mind, we designed the home to be accessible and we carefully chose materials that will be durable throughout our lifetime.” The finished product includes additional glazing on the south side to help with heating, beautiful views from all directions, polished concrete floors for ease of cleaning, and an energy recovery ventilator system (ERV) that exchanges the air in the home multiple times per day.
