Cereza Passive House -comfort, quiet and unbelievably energy efficient

This modern Arkin-Tilt Architects designed home is groundbreaking in so many ways.  Firstly, the main structure of the home will be made out of agricultural waste products, which are incredibly insulative but also spectacular carbon sinks.  Performance and health-wise, this house is next level.  At zero net energy, zero carbon, ultra-low embodied carbon, and Passive House, it is also being built to the world's most stringent green building code, the Living Building Challenge.  Not only will it be completely energy independent, but the home will also exclude all toxic and harmful Red List chemicals, many of which are commonly found in normal homes, all while being ultra quiet and comfortable year-round.  This is the most advanced and ambitious home we have ever built and a profound testament to how healthy, comfortable, and regenerative a modern single-family home can be.
