Solar Barn Farm House
This solar farmhouse for a family of four near Wellington, Colorado was designed to resemble a traditional barn. It even includes a stone silo that houses the children's bedrooms, a home office and roof deck. Also the central cupola is both a ventilation aid and a meditation loft with 360-degree views.
It incorporates both passive solar design and active solar water heating for both domestic hot water and space heat. It is built out of Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS) with an Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) foundation and timber framing. It incorporates radiant floor heating, passive ventilation and air-to-air heat exchanger, high performance windows and natural, non-toxic materials.
