Modern Design and Energy Efficiency: Can You Have Both? is an important consideration for homeowners planning a custom home in Vancouver. The right approach should balance personal style, everyday function, natural light, materials, the lot, and the relationship between the home and its surroundings.
Plan Efficiency Early
Energy efficiency is easier to integrate when it is considered during the design process. Both modern and West Coast contemporary homes can incorporate passive solar thinking and smart systems.
Use the Architecture
Orientation, natural light and the relationship between openings and the site can all be considered as part of a broader energy-conscious approach.
Keep the Design Balanced
Energy efficiency does not have to compete with style. The design can combine practical systems with the clean lines or natural materiality that homeowners prefer.
