New Moon Dream

Imagine…

Imagine you found a spectacular site for your new home. It has a panoramic view to the South with absolutely no signs of civilization – as if before humanity arrived.

It’s so peaceful,  it like you’re wrapped in deafening silence. 

Let’s call it New Moon Dream.

And your architect asks you to reimagine, to challenge conventional thinking, from the foundation to finishes, so you will “live better”. 

This case study illustrates how you can live with more savings, better health, and how you may age in place with grace, real comfort, peace of mind. And also, you’ve done your part for a stronger and more sustainable future. It focuses on a steadfast commitment to a project’s financial feasibility using an authentic zero-emissions design process. A home so efficient, it requires only a few solar panels to generate as much power as it uses year-round. In this case, given its location, this study extends to off-grid power and water. 

No well, no public water supply. 

This approach yielded an exceptional design that is beautiful, contextual, and practical. But what we are doing here actually is redefining the meaning of “beauty”.

While this is indeed just a dream for now, it is applicable to almost all building types:  all densities of multifamily, commercial, institutional, spiritual and recreational.

In the context of Climate Disruption, an architect’s design process must include an “authentic zero-emissions protocol”. This depends on building science, on informing oneself using 21st century energy modeling. Kreger chose to allow PHIUS, Passive House Institute US http://PHIUS.org to inform him.
