About This Project

The Dan Jones Residence exemplifies cutting-edge sustainable design, seamlessly integrating an attached greenhouse into a contemporary adobe structure located in the picturesque setting of Taos, NM. This innovative project showcases a commitment to year-round food production while utilizing a sophisticated solar heating system that supports both the greenhouse and the home’s heating needs. The drain-back system ensures efficient energy use, maintaining a stable environment within the greenhouse, where temperatures never drop below 40°F during the harsh winter months. Water for the greenhouse is harvested from the roof, exemplifying the residence’s dedication to ecological principles and self-sufficiency. The overall building shell adheres to the Passive House standards, featuring super insulation and thermal bridge-free detailing that significantly reduces heat loss. Triple-glazed windows with insulated frames allow for ample natural light while maintaining optimal indoor temperatures. These design choices not only enhance the home's aesthetic appeal but also contribute to its energy efficiency. The craftsmanship throughout the residence reflects meticulous attention to detail, ensuring durability and functionality. The whole-house ventilation system, capable of achieving up to 95% heat recovery, guarantees a continuous supply of fresh, filtered, and pollen-free air, enhancing the living experience for its inhabitants. The result is a home that consistently offers unparalleled comfort, evidenced by the homeowner’s report of never needing to utilize the backup wood stove during winter, with indoor temperatures only dipping to 60°F for brief moments. The Dan Jones Residence stands as a testament to modern ecological living, harmonizing advanced technology with architectural beauty. Its innovative design not only meets the needs of its occupants but also sets a benchmark for future sustainable homes, making it an exemplary model of contemporary living in harmony with nature.
