Sierra Valley House
OpenScope has been hired to design a house for a small, triangular-shaped parcel of land at the edge of a large agricultural valley. Replacing a decrepit trailer home and a collection of sheds, the new house is designed to prioritize views of the valley and mountains beyond. The wall and floor assemblies are designed to make the house almost energy neutral, taking advantage of a high efficiency wood stove for supplemental heat.
