Located in Ontario's Prince Edward County, this 2000sf bungalow is one of Solares Architecture's first double stud construction projects. Non-load bearing interior 2x4 walls are set 4" from the exterior load-bearing 2x6 walls. The space between is filled with blow-in cellulose insulation for an R-value of 50. Under-slab insulation is R-30 and the roof is an incredible R-70. This super-insulated shell allows heating and cooling systems to be minimally sized, making for economical construction and operating costs. The house has a 10 kW, roof-mounted photovoltaic array and solar thermal hot water. The overall design has been tailored to accommodate the owners' unique interests while keeping the overall area as small as possible.
