Luxurious Residence in Noe Valley

March 29th, 2010 in Architecture

This brand new, luxurious residence in Noe Valley, San Francisco replaces an inefficient 800 sq ft shack on Hoffman Avenue. Designed and built by SF–based Group 41, the ‘H House’ is a model of modern architecture. The home incorporates thoughtful sustainable design elements. For instance, the beautiful flooring and cabinetry are made from pressed timber scraps and recycled sawdust. Up to 20% fly ash was used in the concrete mix. Efficiency was also a high priority. The home boasts a 97% energy-efficient HVAC system with radiant floor heating, as well as LED lighting, and an on-demand hot water system. Solar panels could be easily added by the new owners, as the house is solar system ready with conduits and a roof membrane already built in. This home exudes sustainable and luxurious design.
