Blue Brook Architecture, Inc. is dedicated to designing efficient, affordable, sustainable buildings reflecting the unique character of each client and their site.
"The design [of this house] is a "passive solar" design, with large areas of glass facing the ocean to the south and southwest. Regulations prohibiting roof overhangs meant that the house would receive a large amount of solar gain at all times of the year. Use of tile pavers set on one-inch mortar throughout provides a thermal mass to absorb some of this heat and re-radiate it during the night." |
