The North Carolina couple wanted a change in their lifestyle: since their adult son had left home, they were looking for a quiet, secluded place to live in the middle of the woods. A home where they could sit outside and watch the rain fall. But with one detail:
the construction had to be Net Zero , that is, it had to generate all the energy it consumed. That's where architect
Arielle Condoret Schechter came into play, a specialist in
self-sustainable constructions who created a large project that takes advantage of the surrounding landscape, full of sustainable solutions and, despite everything, guarantees the family's privacy.
The cypress forest filters the light that enters the house and also protects the property's terrace - meaning that those on the street cannot see inside. The neighbor's lawn creates a meadow that provides a wide and bright view.
Inside, a gourmet area makes up the social area, along with the deck and the dining and living areas. A few corridors and glass walls enhance the building's indoor-outdoor connection. Discover this and other sustainable practices on CASACOR's Instagram:
