The simplest path to a net-zero home
Vega
Family house with lofty living space
Introducing Vega – a towering, 2-story home that allows the mind to soar upwards. The lofty dining room could easily be converted into a tasteful lounging space for all to enjoy. The expansive windows deliver abundant amounts of daylight and create a strong connection to the wonderful world around us, while the SIP envelope provides the highest indoor air quality possible. The substantial family kitchen can feed a crew of 4 sitting up at the bar, and there’s a bonus recreational room upstairs for work or play. This home truly has it all and can be easily arranged to fit your family’s needs.
