STONEHOUSE II | Lochlyn Hill Development , Virginia
Welcome to the Stonehouse Series, a visionary collection of sustainable homes that seamlessly integrate with the natural landscape. These homes are designed with a keen awareness of budgetary considerations, ensuring they are not only functional and cost-effective but also aesthetically captivating and environmentally responsible.
Design Philosophy: Our intent is to create a series of contemporary homes that harmoniously blend design, science, technology, and construction. By taking a holistic approach, we aim to craft architecture that enriches everyday life, ensuring each home is a testament to modern elegance and simplicity.
Modular Design: The homes in the Stonehouse Series are designed modularly, using standardized dimensions of four feet and eight feet. This approach maximizes material usage, minimizes waste, and accelerates the construction process. All finish options and building materials are eco-friendly and require minimal maintenance, reducing material off-gassing and heat loss.
Sustainable Features: Energy Efficiency: Each home is equipped with energy-efficient appliances, water-conserving plumbing fixtures, and instant hot or tankless water heaters.
Water Recycling: A cistern system is used for water recycling, promoting sustainability, and reducing water waste.
Eco-Friendly Materials: The use of eco-friendly materials ensures a healthier living environment and a reduced carbon footprint.
Design Concept: The design concept revolves around an open living space developed from a 40-foot square footprint, divided into three parts: private areas, public areas, and exposed circulation. This tri-parti layout is visually present in both the plan and elevation of the home, offering a unique blend of traditional and modern elements.
Customization and Community Impact: Customization: Clients have the option to customize certain aspects of their homes, such as the layout or finishes, while maintaining the overall design philosophy.
Community Impact: These homes are designed to contribute positively to the communities they are built in, fostering a sense of harmony and connection with the natural surroundings.
Additional Features: Smart Home Technology: Incorporating smart home systems enhances the functionality and appeal of these homes.
Landscape Integration: The landscape is designed to complement the natural surroundings, further enhancing the seamless integration with the environment.
