CONTEMPRA Description - 3820
This very modest home is focused on incorporating passive solar features for maximum enrgy efficiency. Plans allow you to connect a garage in different ways thereby permitting the home to be properly oriented to the sun on any lot. The great room is the intended sunny space; a trellis shades a beautiful window wall to eliminate strong summer sun, while permitting lower winter sun to penetrate. The rear interior wall of the great room is a masonry "trombe wall", which will store heat. The home could be built without any grage or with a one or two car garage.
