Ridgewood Residence is a beautiful and modern home nestled in the evolving Rollingwood area, in Austin, Texas, USA, which was designed by Cornerstone Architects.
Each room hides harmony, balance, privacy and tranquility. This modern five-star green house utilizes sustainable design elements with chic and elegant details that bring it out from the ordinary.
It was created in a “Y” shape in order to create the privacy needed, focusing towards the side rather than the rear of the property.
The trees, the thick masonry walls and the deep roof overhangs contribute to mitigate the rays of sun, while the rainwater harvesting turns the dwelling into an eco-friendly home.
Sustainable design sounds great, but what’s the actual energy consumption data? I need hard numbers on the rainwater harvesting efficiency and thermal performance, not just marketing fluff about “tranquility.” Show me the evidence.
Great question! The home achieves a 40% reduction in water usage through our advanced rainwater system and boasts an R-value of R-40 in the walls. This ensures superior thermal performance and significantly lowers long-term energy bills. We prioritize verifiable data to back up our sustainable claims.
