Point Whitehorn Net Zero

Point Whitehorn Net Zero

Point Whitehorn Net Zero home is a modern, space-efficient, and economical home for the couple to spend quality family time in with their kids and eventually grow old in. The entire first floor is accessible for aging-in-place, leaving the second floor for family to stay over.

The stacked design and minimal undulations in the envelope helped make the most use out of every inch and get the best cost per square foot.

On the North side of the property is a wetland mitigation area that has been smartly sectioned off and adds an extra beautifully landscaped view with native trees, shrubs and wildflowers.
