This architect designed home is in Litchfield County, Ct.  It sits atop an engineered steel frame on concrete piers and floats over the site.  The construction of the home exceeds Energy Star Ratings and will be heated via a Geo-Thermal system.  All finishes were either chosen because of efficiency or renewable qualities.  The heating is radiant, the hot water is on demand, the flooring and counter tops are recycled, and the insulation is foam.  Open the .pdf below to check out the floor plans and proposed elevations.
