One of a kind green home. Winning entry from the international design competition, "From the Ground Up". "R-House", designed by the Architectural Research Office & Della Valle Bernheimer, is a two-story home that transforms a typical gabled roof into a simple folded surface that recalls the appearance and scale of neighboring houses. The passive solar strategy utilizes a well insulated envelope, airtight construction, an efficient small heating system, controlled ventilation, and windows that optimize solar gain, requiring a negligible amount of heating energy.
