Introducing Park Passive: Our Newest Single Family Custom Home

We’re excited to start construction on Cascade Built’s most energy efficient project to date: Park Passive.

 Park Passive

Designed by Nicholson Kovalchick Architects, the 2,300 square foot single family home located in Seattle’s Madison Park neighborhood has been designed and is being constructed to meet the rigorous standards of the Passive House Institute US standards for Passive House certification by reducing heating energy consumption by nearly 90%. Jokingly, we tell people we plan to heat the house with a hairdryer, though that does represent the approximate level of heat needed, as a result of extreme attention to detail in air sealing, high levels of insulation, and high-performance windows. The 4bd/3ba home also features solar hot water, PV ready, salvaged woodwork from a site harvested tree, zero VOC finishes, a heat recovery ventilator, and more. True to our style, this beautiful home is built on an in-fill city lot that measures just about 2,000 SF.

Watch this space for progress!
