Frequently Asked Questions
A high-performance home is designed and built as a complete system where every component works together to deliver superior comfort, energy efficiency, durability, and healthier indoor air quality. It goes well beyond minimum building code standards to create a home that truly works for you and your family—now and for years to come.
High-performance homes cost less to operate, are healthier to live in, and hold their value over time. They’re built with better materials, tighter construction, and smarter systems—resulting in lower energy bills, fewer maintenance headaches, and a more comfortable living environment year-round.
We start by selecting non-toxic materials that minimize harmful chemicals inside your home. Then we build using proven techniques that prevent mold, moisture, and air leaks. Finally, we incorporate ventilation systems designed to circulate fresh air and filter out pollutants—helping you and your family breathe easier every day.
Our modern rustic designs blend the natural warmth of materials like wood and stone with the clean lines and comforts of modern architecture. The result is a home that feels inviting, timeless, and uniquely suited to your style—without sacrificing function or efficiency.
