PROJECT STORY:

The clients came to us with a dream of a new Passive House, but the project morphed very quickly into a renovation when the right property (down the street from a brother) came onto the market. The renovation of this 1815 home became a Deep Energy Retrofit as we explored all the options available. As with all retrofits, compromises abound - how do you air seal a floor assembly you can’t even see from below, thanks to 12”-18” clearances to raw earth? Very carefully.
