Red House Interior

The main living space of the Red House has two stories of glass on the south elevation. The passive solar design allows this south light and heat to warm up slate floors, plaster walls and other masonry. Each room on the north (earth sheltered side) opens up onto the larger space for views and ventilation. The round room at the far end of the main space is a ceremonial viewing room oriented to the Adirondack Mountains of New York to the west. The house is a very successful example of passive solar heating with no "moving parts" and only a small wood fired backup stove. We also designed the Red Table for this project.
