Designed to achieve both LEED Platinum and WELL for Residential, this innovative residence by Caplow Manzano utilizes their signature "open construction" method to prioritize occupant health and environmental resilience. By eliminating drywall, sealed cavities, and volatile materials, the home is a healthy environment designed to be built with extremely durable materials such as aerate concrete, lime plaster, and rust proof fiber rebar that will prevent the growth of mold, mildew, and pests. The high performance structure is expertly adapted for the urban tropics, moving the enclosed living space ten feet above grade, and providing a soaring glass atrium that provides abundant natural light and fully accessible MEP infrastructure. The property integrates seamless indoor-outdoor living through its expansive pool terrace and rooftop deck, and provides irrigation-free landscaping all while being future ready with a full solar array and back up batteries.
