Green Home Revision – Orleans, MA – by ZED

ZED designed this LEED Gold certified residence to replace the original building and remained true to the family traditions that have developed since the land was purchased in 1958.

Living green roof built to fill the view with green vegetation at eye level while seated, and reduce roof run-off from storm water.  The second level rooftop reveals 2.5 kilowatts of solar electric panels which provides ~30% of the home’s electricity.

New features include the clean, green feeling throughout the house, healthy indoor air quality, very comfortable and stable temperatures from the radiant floors, and exceptional energy performance with renewable energy systems.
