30 Tube Thermomax Hot Water System and an 8 Kilowatt PV array, grid tied to Puget Sound Energy (PSE). PSE pays $.15 per kilowatt generated and “banks” watts generated in the summer for use in the fall and winter. The PVs will generate approximately 9,200 kilowatts/year and average household consumption is 9,000. This should be a net zero energy home! The PVs will generate more electricity than will normally be used. The homeowner will receive $1,350/year from PSE for the electricity generated until 2014 and other legislation can extend or increase this.

Sited on the west bank of Cedar Lake in Minneapolis, this house evolved out of a consideration for and a direct engagement with the surrounding landscape. A series of low stone walls provide the foundation for the house and emerge from the body of the house to define three courtyards, each with a specific materiality: the eye court (wispy grasses, crab apples and winterberry), the body court (stone pavers), and the mind court (river stones). The eye court provides visual relief from the compressed entry sequence defined by a cantilevered roof plane. The body court allows the inhabitants a physical place to directly engage in outdoor activities, and the mind court offers a spiritual space in which one can contemplate the wonders of nature from a sheltered location.
