Project Description
This 3,070 sq. ft. single-family home with detached garage is located in Vancouver’s Dunbar neighbourhood. The low energy consumption was mainly achieved with high efficiency windows, solar hot water heating and a high performance heating/cooling system, including heat recovery. The structure consists of a combination of standard wood frame construction with engineered wood products and architecturally exposed glulam and steel post and beam. The Kerchum Residence was the first LEED Platinum single-family residence in BC.
