Granny Pod – Park City, Utah<\/h4>\n

The US population is getting older, and baby boomers will soon require care and support. Building onto existing houses is one way to create a space for this kind of care. Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) are not a novel concept, but their use is growing.<\/p>\n

This ADU’s architecture was intended to provide the resident privacy from the rest of the house while still enabling direct access to and movement through the main house. Whatever your path in life, this is a nice location to live with a tiny kitchenette\/living area, bedroom, and access to outdoor space.<\/p>\n

Formally speaking, the pod is immediately related to the main home, with a triangular shape joined by a breezeway that serves as a second-story deck. When solitude and seclusion are required, there is a separate office area on the second level. Sustainable and long-lasting materials were used in the design to ensure that it would endure and be able to weather any potential fire damage that might eventually harm the nearby population.<\/p>\n

Glenwild – Park City, Utah<\/h4>\n

A contemporary take on a traditional country club. A new patio with fire pits and expansive vistas greets guests as they enter the house through realigned openings that physically flow across the spaces. The cozy and inviting ambiance is enhanced by a newly constructed wine cellar and an enlarged lounge area.<\/p>\n

Prospector Residential – Park City, Utah<\/h4>\n

This LEED-certified building’s architecture makes use of the air, light, and connection to the outdoors that characterize a mountain community. With a gradually sloping parapet that mirrors the land’s slope, the exterior rises three stories above the ground. A pathway for unit access and softly tinted walls transmit sunlight to the lowest level of the interior courtyard, where planters bring greenery into the artificial environment, are features of the space. Community spaces and fire pits help to foster camaraderie among inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Among the techniques employed in the home design to achieve a LEED certification are the usage of heat pump heating\/cooling units, CLT (cross laminated timber) floor plate construction, and strong continuous insulation. Other ways to get LEED points and make your home healthier include installing sound mats to block out neighbor noise, low-U-value windows to keep the heat (or cold) in, and constant fresh air flow.<\/p>\n
