A Garden and a Library
Is the Luxury of Enough
A Garden and a Library
Perched atop a hill overlooking Theodore Wirth Park, this house takes advantage of a challenging site by maintaining an efficient footprint and opening up to the sun.
This is a LEED Gold certified house that leans on simple strategies for increasing efficiency, including an earth tube to temper intake air, radiant in-floor heating, and sliding solar shades on the exterior.
A collection of spaces that live large but feel intimate, the house balances a traditional Swedish color palette of blues, grays, reds, and yellows with modern living and space for 10,000 books.
