DESIGN
This house was a speculative duplex project for two small families in this winter resort area. The first floor is partially below grade to reduce exterior surface area above grade and to provide additional earth mass in contact with the active air envelope. Each unit design is the same; and, by modifying construction of the party walls, either unit can be built separately. However, the cost per unit in this case will be greater due to additional foundation, framing, insulation, and finish work. The units can also be worked into multi-unit groupings for a larger development project.
