The second project received an Honorable Mention Award in Architectural Design for a home designed by Bonin Architects on Lake Sunapee in Newbury, NH.
Materials, innovative and
sustainable components:
·
The
foundation was done with insulated concrete formwork; the exterior walls and
roof are conventionally framed and highly insulated with a hybrid system, and
are properly air sealed for a very weather tight exterior
·
Durable/maintainable
materials; cedar shingles, AZEK trim, IPE decking, Hickory flooring, reclaimed
wood, tile/stone, aluminum clad wood windows and 50 year asphalt roof shingles
·
Because
of the operable windows and doors bringing in the cool lake breeze the client
did not want air conditioning. The home
has in floor radiant heat and a Heat Recovery Ventilator to allow preheated
fresh air to exchange automatically maintaining a proper balance of fresh air.
·
There
was a 5% decrease in the impermeable impact of the site (53% to 48%) was
achieved with an overall smaller building footprint and reduction in paved and hardscape areas.
