The owners of the Wellfleet Modern Home lived on the West Coast and wanted a comfortable, energy-efficient green vacation home near their family on the Cape with the ability to rent it out when they were away.
Nesting in a ¾ acre lot in the pines, the home pays homage to the modern architectural legacy on the outer Cape and has a simple rectinilear design that offers living space on both the entry and lower/basement levels, preserves privacy, optimizes natural light, and provides outdoor living spaces. With a super insulated building envelope, carefully designed mechanical systems, high-efficiency appliances, and a rooftop solar electric system, the home exhibits exceptional performance and consumes 89% less energy than a similar new home built to code.
The Wellfleet Modern Home received a Gold BRICC Award in 2018 and a Silver PRISM Award in 2017.
