This project was designed for a discerning client who owns a masonry distribution company.  To say the least, there is a plethora of masonry and equisite detailing throughout the 8,400 square foot addition.  The addition consists of a new master suite and library above an 8+ car garage, fountain, and solarium, and horizontal -losed-loop geothermal heating system hooked up to the radiant floor heating, cooling, and domestic hot water.  This project is scheduled to complete in the fall of 2010.  Also, there is a custom designed gate to the property.

This house will be Energy Star rated (5-star +).  PV (photovoltaic) panels on roof
