Green Builder Media\u2019s VISION House Austin illustrates the level of performance houses must achieve to stay safe and efficient in weather extremes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lake City, Colo., Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The VISION House Austin, meticulously designed by internationally renowned architect Peter Pfeiffer and his Austin-based Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture team, has been designed for optimal climate responsiveness using passive solar design to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

lan Barley and Pfeiffer, co-owners of the firm, are big believers in layering. They start with a deep study of the site they\u2019re working with and design a home that complements the location and their client\u2019s preferences. Next, they layer in sustainable products and systems that will enhance the performance of a well-designed and carefully built home.<\/p>\n

Because this house needs to perform well in a hot climate, the design team selected products that would hold up to the heat. They also leaned on design to achieve performance, such as overhangs to create shade and positioning each house appropriately on its site. They also focus on innovations that have made it easier to build a resilient, sustainable, high-performance house.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe intelligent design enhances energy efficiency by reducing the heating and cooling load,\u201d Green Builder CEO Sara Gutterman explains. \u201cResilient materials increase the home\u2019s ability to withstand nature\u2019s fury. And an integrated solar + battery storage system ensures that the house will remain functional in the event of an extreme climate event or power outage.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Most important, Gutterman notes, is that the VISION House Austin demonstrates how sustainable architecture can be affordable and practical for everyday living, and that a home with lower carbon footprint can lead to a higher quality of life for homeowners.<\/p>\n
