Built on the site of a circa 1895 church, the building was designed with efficiency, comfort and sound attenuation in mind. It employs solar panels on the roof to defray building energy expenses, and a gray rain water 'harvest' system that filters and redirects rain water for alternative uses to further reduce common costs. Spray foam insulation and triple-pane, high-performance insulated windows work in concert to improve energy efficiency for individual residences, greatly reducing energy costs in both warmer and colder months.
