When looking to renovate their house located in Charlotte's Dilworth area, the AeroHouse owners were
looking for a contemporary and modern vernacular; they enlisted the help of
Liquid Design to provide them with a design vision and to oversee construction
of their renovation. Throughout the design process the one overriding theme for
the project became “Simple and clean; green
modern”. Liquid
Design believes that good design has always been efficient and therefore
“green," so rather than pursuing certifications, the homeowners and their
architects implemented an intentionally sustainable focus for the project. This resulted in features such as
methodically placed operable windows to optimize cross breezes (hence the name
Aero House) , daylighting tubes, a bio-ethanol fueled fireplace, materials with
a high air quality index, and sunshading overhangs. All of these features blend
seamlessly with the overall look and feel of the space which is decidedly clean
and refreshing.
