The Meadowlark house was designed to be both a comfortable and flexible home for a growing family on a modest budget and a demonstration model for sustainable design and technologies. The design is conceived of as two similarly scaled masses slightly shifted in plan, topped with a splayed roof form. The result is a compact, yet spatially dynamic home for contemporary living. The home is oriented along an east-west axis; the public areas are arranged in an ‘open’ floor plan emphasizing openness and light from the large south facing windows. The window configuration takes advantage of the cool breezes in summer and the warming sun in winter. Deep roof overhangs at the south and west protect against harsh summer sun. Exterior walls are constructed with the HIB system, with engineered roof joists. The mechanical systems include radiant floor heating and a ducted energy recovery ventilator. A large portion of the roof faces south, allowing for optional photovoltaic panels.
