This clever two bedroom home is a modification of one of several designs we received from TC Legend Homes (Powerhouse Designs) of Bellingham, WA. The clerestory windows privide south-facing sunshine to the north-side upstairs bedroom, bathroom, and sitting room. The sitting room would make an excellent baby’s room for a growing family. The sliding glass doors on the main level provide easy access to the back yard, as the sun pours in and heats the finished concrete floor. The prototype of this plan was built in a very cold climate, and has performed as a passive house in all but the most extreme weather. It will achieve net-zero-energy with very little PV installed, and it has plenty of south-facing roof to also power your electric car.

What's Included in Our Zero-Energy Home Packages
We provide the most complete plan packages available on the market. We are interested in the ultimate success of your project, not just in selling a set of house plans.
We include foundation plans, foundation details, floor plans of all levels, framing details, floor framing plans, and elevation views from all sides. We also provide an electrical plan, though you will want to modify the lighting to your own tastes. Most importantly, we provide a complete mechanical plan, tailored to YOUR climate zone.
We used to ship either a “Basic Set” of plans, with just one copy of each page, or a “full Set”, which ideally would include enough plan pagers for all of your key suppliers and subcontractors. Now most people prefer to have you send them a PDF to bid from and work from, and they will carry it with them in their portable device. Even banks and building departments are now preferring electronic plan copies.
There are now FedEx Office, Office Max, and similar locations all over the country where you can have full size plans printed at a far lower cost than what we can provide, especially when the cost and time required to ship them across the country is considered. When you need an extra copy of a certain page, you can simply e-mail the pdf page you need to the local outlet, and they will have it all printed and ready for pick-up by the time you arrive. Isn’t technology wonderful!
