Designed by Deltec, this small family home
and office has a lot of site features that support its passive solar
design. A grove of trees on the north side protects the building
site from winter winds, and the 14-sided building captures all angles
of sunlight, even without any windows on the north side. A large
roof overhang on the south side provides shading from the hot summer
sun. Two additional skylights support the goal of extensive day
lighting.
