The Rainshine House

I'd love to fill this house with comfy non-modern furnishings... A mix of monochromatic Baroque, Shabby Chic and well maybe a lil modern Armani Casa.








  • 500-gallon rainwater harvest cisterns;
  • Butterfly roof designed to collect rainwater;
  • Locally-sourced, 100% recycled steel framing roof;
  • Water-based insulation materials;
  • Reclaimed heart-pine flooring;
  • Energy recovery ventilator (for tight homes);
  • Low solar heat gain coefficient windows;
  • Abundant interior natural light;
  • LED lighting system;
  • Geothermal heat pump;
  • 3.1 kW rooftop, photovoltaic system; and
  • Deciduous plantings to provide efficiency benefits.
