This Healthy Home originated through a design competition to help rethink the traditional Kentucky 'shotgun house' as a future prototype to help local residents rebuild for the future utilizing damaged shotgun house lots.
The idea behind a healthy home is one that directly contributes to healthy living for it's day to day inhabitants, community and natural environmental impacts.
Fresh air in-take thru low e operable windows and sensor controlled vents. Radiant flooring systems for indirect heating and cooling. Engineered structural insulated panels with recycled post consumer materials for great R-Values and ease of construction. Shaded overhangs and living roofs and walls also contribute to the passive solar strategy of providing a solid building insulative envelope that also breathes reducing or even omitting powered heating and cooling systems. This keeps the home cool on hot summer days and warm in cold winter months.
The healthy home is a modular design and can accommodate user program and site specific layouts and configurations according to lifestyle and needs.
