+ Bright & Light-Filled Spaces, the Brio54_LifestyleThe H4, a 2171 SF, 3 bedroom, 2 & 1/2 bath model, has been specifically designed for very small, narrow, and low sloping building lots commonly found in higher density neighborhoods along the shoreline. Its efficient use of space & a fine-tuned open floor plan delivers a bright, light-filled & spacious interior. High-capacity seating in the dining and living room area, a large open kitchen, ample built-in serving areas and attractive outdoor spaces make it an ideal design for entertaining.+ 51% More Energy Efficient than the Average New HomeIn order to offer an overall energy performance rating system that is simple and easy to understand, we decided to use the DOE Energy Smart Home Scale, short E-scale. The H4 prototype has received a score of 49, which means that it is 51% more energy efficient than the average new home currently built in the United States. This score is due to a very tight & highly insulated building envelope, a high-efficiency heating, cooling & ventilation system, a high efficiency instant water heater, ENERGY STAR rated appliances, WaterSense rated fixtures, as well as dimmer switches & occupancy sensors. In addition, each room offers natural cross-ventilation in order to utilize the prevalent shoreline breeze, which further reduces utility costs during the interim season.+ High Indoor Air Quality through Low Emission & VentilationAside from energy efficiency it is also important to us to delivery a high indoor air quality. This is achieved through an HRV-based ventilation system that ensures low humidity levels in the heating season in order to prevent condensation and the associated growth of mold & mildew. Our custom built-in cabinetry uses PureBond plywood, which features soy-based, formaldehyde-free adhesives. All finishes and paints are water-based and low emitting.+ A Comprehensive Work of ArtBrio54 delivers a comprehensive lifestyle brand down to the smallest detail. We carefully craft each component in order to reinforce the overall design intent. All the built-in cabinetry is custom designed & fabricated specifically for the H4 product line. Baseboards & casings are flush, wall plates for switches & outlets are snap-on and screwless. The hardwood floor & cabinetry finishes with a sheen value as low as unfinished wood further reinforce the unique, natural, warm, yet modern character of the design.
