2024 Princeton Green House Tour: The Bloomin' on Birch House

Join us for an exciting in-person event, the 2024 Princeton Green House Tour. Please note, tickets are required to go inside the homes. Exact location to be provided via email to ticket-holders a day before the event. PLEASE SIGN UP FOR ONLY ONE HOUSE IN ANY GIVEN TIME SLOT.

A recently built modern home that meets the most stringent environmental standards: Geothermal heating and cooling driven by solar panels, heat-pump water heater, two-layer insulation (cellulose and soy-foam) providing 2x the insulation requirements, Swiss-made FSC-certified tropical hardwood triple-pane windows/doors with custom glazings for solar heat gain/loss on different exposures. Minimal utilities...sun-powered A/C! All wood is FSC-certified: cedar siding, solid wood lumber and plywood construction, cumaru sills and deck, hard maple trim, beech flooring, etc. All coatings are water-based low-VOC. Custom FSC-certified maple cabinetry. Every fixture is LED. Extra measures installed for drainage onsite, elevation + piping & extensive underground dry-well. Custom steel-work by local sculptor/welder for front-trellis and stairs. Separate, fully-outfitted apartment perfect for family/rentals. In-wall large gauge wiring for audiophiles. Elevated terrace deck with gas, water, electric, and audio. Open floor plan with well-designed spaces, lofts in all bedrooms, nooks, and storage. Not a cubic-foot wasted. A responsibly-sized, super-livable green home, lovingly and locally created by architect-couple (Burton & D'Avila) and Pinneo Construction.
