Sustainable Living Meets Historic Charm: A Duplex Designed for the Future

Nestled in a neighborhood rich with history and character, this thoughtfully designed duplex redefines rental living with sustainability, efficiency, and timeless aesthetics. Built with precision and care, the project seamlessly blends modern eco-friendly construction with architectural elements that honor the charm of the surrounding community.

Efficiency Through Innovation
At the heart of this project lies an unwavering commitment to sustainability. Constructed using 6" GPS SIPs (Structural Insulated Panels), the duplex benefits from reduced construction time, minimized labor costs, and long-term energy savings. The SIPs provide exceptional insulation and efficiency, setting a new standard for rental properties.

Historic Character, Modern Comfort
The design emulates the distinctive style of the historic neighborhood, with carefully crafted details such as three-foot-long rafter tails that harmonize with the architectural vernacular. The framed roof, boasting an impressive R54 insulation rating, adds to the home’s energy-saving features while preserving its classic aesthetic.

A Certified Net-Zero Leader
Proudly certified as Earth Advantage Net-Zero, this duplex is built to exceed expectations in energy performance. With an airtightness score of 1.2 ACH50 in the blower door test, it achieves superior energy efficiency. Solar panels, with a robust 12 kW capacity, power the duplex, ensuring sustainability and reduced utility costs for future tenants.

Energy-Efficient Features
Every detail of this duplex reflects a commitment to a greener future:

Mini-split HVAC systems for precise climate control.
Energy Star-rated appliances and super-efficient water heaters.
100% LED lighting to reduce energy consumption further.

Eco-Friendly Landscaping
The duplex's outdoor spaces are equally sustainable, featuring xeriscape landscaping that enhances the property’s curb appeal while conserving water and supporting local ecosystems.

A Vision Realized
This duplex stands as a testament to blending sustainability, functionality, and beauty in rental housing. By meeting the highest standards of energy efficiency and honoring the character of its historic surroundings, this project is more than just a building—it’s a future-ready home for its tenants and a proud addition to its neighborhood.
