The Linear Villa provides a place for the inhabitants to dream, a safe and secure refuge, and fundamentally a place to dwell. Multiple outdoor spaces extend the living spaces and provide connections to the environment and neighborhood. A tall chimney anchors the house and marks the entry as well as providing a hearth around which to gather. The Linear Villa is oriented to take maximum advantage of winter solar gain while excluding summer sun. A substantially insulated envelope reduces the need to artificially heat or cool the spaces. Primary living spaces are naturally ventilated and have natural light from at least two directions. A bioswale captures and treats stormwater run-off. Graywater is captured and used for sewage conveyance and low flow fixtures are used throughout. Materials are chosen for their recycled content, recyclability at the end of their useful life, durability, and ease of maintenance. Insulated concrete forms are used for the exterior walls.
