This is the third custom home that
I have designed for Paul and Teresa Kennedy. This time the Kennedy's
came to me with an unusal request, they wanted to downsize.
Their last house was 3,582 s.f. on Nickolas Cove, this
house would end up at 2,677 s.f.. The
driving force was to
be as energy efficient and sustainable as possible. The design included
high-efficiency windows, 10" thick Rastra walls, and an opperable
clerestory.
This is our fourth five-star City of Austin Green Building Home. There
have only been about thirty-five five-star homes in the last eight
years. The first home I did for the Kennedy's was a 2,430 s.f.
home on La Jolla in Lake Austin Estates.
