The Full Plane PassiveHouse gives modern form & presence to the owner’s ecological & social values, while providing a playful environment for her son to grow & be educated in sustainable living.

 

The floorplan is a thoughtful re-evaluation of the functional needs for a small family, including an efficiently designed kitchen, 1.5 baths, & an open floor plan which encourages time together.

 

The recently completed home has quietly reached the ranks of Portland’s most sustainable residences, pursuing both Passive House & the Living Building Challenge standards. To meet net-zero water goals, composting toilets, stormwater catchment, & greywater reuse are incorporated. PassiveHouse technologies & photovoltaics help the Full Plane PassiveHouse surpass net-zero energy requirements, moving towards net-positive energy.
