Join the Residential Architecture Committee (a chapter of CRAN) on Friday, June 5 at 11:30 am for a CRAN Build the Build tour of an under-construction home in Little Canada designed by Kell Architects and built by Hampton Companies, with landscape architecture by Pebl Design.

“Red Bud” is a home designed for a client enthusiastic about sustainable design and building. The 1800 main level footprint is designed for aging-in-place with a lower level of 1,000 finished square feet for bonus living and guests. With Passive House concepts applied, the compact footprint is formed of SIP construction, high-efficiency mechanical systems including an ERV system and solar panels, triple-pane fiberglass windows and doors by Canadian manufacturer Duxton, and an envelope seal product by AeroBarrier.

A traditional cottage appearance for an energy-efficient design is achieved by employing products like recycled rubber roofing shingles and enduring stucco and stone for exterior cladding and character. A timber frame adorns the vaulted workhorse areas of the kitchen and garden room where organic food growth and preservation is a passion of this particular client. Extensive exterior food gardens, terraces and flower gardens are planned by design partner, Pebl Design, to support a life of growing, giving and wellbeing.

Red Bud is built in the development Villas Of Lake Gervais by general contractor and developer Dan Brown of Hampton Co.

Lunch will be provided, sponsored by AeroBarrier. They will be installing the product the day before and reviewing the results on a screen at the tour. Please email Ann Mayhew after registering with any dietary restrictions.
