EDMONTON, AB – This home is unique in that it was to be constructed by a local pre-fabricated home manufacturer and required the highest standard of healthy design and construction. Thus, the home design reflects the integration of pre-fabrication processes and green strategies. Two “bars” – one holding public functions, the other private functions -enclose a two outdoor courtyard spaces that act as transitional outdoor spaces and extend the narrow interior spaces to the exterior. The narrow width of the “bars” facilitate direct solar gain, natural ventilation, and zoned heating/cooling.
