1354 The High Road
C.O.A. Rating:
The Design
Concept of the
home, which was suggested by the challenging site is that of an old English Manor that
has been added onto over time. The design has four
distinct structures that are planned phased additions over the next
several years. The
timeless architecture adds comfort
and warmth to an already spectacular site.

2011 marked the completion of the second phase of 1354 The High Road, in so far as any architect/owner can claim a "completed" project. The floor plan drawings above show the complete project.
The second phase's many unique and interesting elements included; two PV Arrays, Rainwater Harvesting, 10" perform wall ICF walls, Geothermal HVAC, Solar Thermal Radiant Heat Flooring, numerous salvaged doors and beams, and additional wonderful stained glass doors and windows created by my better half.
Check out the really cool construction photos, documenting the second phase from start to finish.
