ZERO MAINTENANCE EXTERIOR MATERIALS

Zero maintenance means no painting, staining, clear coating, sanding, chipping, patching, fading, or any of the other expensive, time consuming, and toxic solutions to exterior home maintenance. Zero maintenance also means durability and timeless quality. What are you going to do with all your free time?

COMPOSITE WOOD DECKING

This wood/plastic composite decking is made from recycled wood waste and plastic resins, giving it unparalleled durability while maintaining the warm appearance of natural wood products. It never has to be stained, painted or sealed, is UV stable, won’t split or crack, and comes with a 25 year warranty.

DAYLIGHT

There is no better way to enliven a home than to drench it in daylight and refresh it with cool summer breezes. The home has over 50 high-performance windows and two giant sliding doors, selectively placed to maximize daylight and natural ventilation.

OUTDOOR COOKING

To further extend your indoor/outdoor lifestyle, a gas connection located directly outside the kitchen allows for year-round outdoor cooking, and eliminates the need to lug around and refill propane tanks.

PROFESSIONAL LANDSCAPING

This professionally designed landscape and irrigation system is filled with drought resistant indigenous plants, shrubs, and trees. And where a little turf is desired, a special drought tolerant hybrid grass does the trick.

COMMERCIAL GRADE FOUNDATION

A house is only as good as the foundation it is built on. There is no need to worry about Colorado’s expansive soils because this house is anchored on piers that have been drilled down to bedrock.

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEM

This 2.7 kilowatt system located on the garage roof can provide up to 75% of your electrical power needs. And when you’re not using all the power it produces, the excess electricity is sold back to the utility company, making your meter run backwards. Now that’s powerful!

STRUCTURAL INSULATED PANELS (SIPs)

Say goodbye to the 19th century framing you see in nearly every house on the market. The structure of this home is made from pre-fabricated, super-insulated, structural panels known as SIPs. These panels - a sandwich of soy-based, air-tight, environmentally friendly foam between two wood sheets - provide unparalleled insulating performance and superior quality.
