The Jewel Box is getting some earrings. The awnings were placed yesterday and look sharp as all get-out. The awning over the entryway to the house will have clear polycarbonate overhead and the workshop awning will have galvanized metal. Ultra cool!
Check ‘em out!
“The forward-thinking “Passive House” technology came along as a bonus I hadn’t thought much about in advance—that turned out to be a remarkable advantage I wouldn’t want to be without. I liked the idea of a house that doesn’t use a lot of energy, but the main advantage has been a new paradigm of comfort difficult to compare to anything I had experienced before. It’s quiet, the air is always fresh, the temperature steady in a comfortable range.”
Don Freas, The Jewel Box
The Jewel Box gets more attention than we ever imagined! People constantly stop their cars to take a look at this gorgeous Passive House and then want to know who designed it. It is so integrated into it's surroundings that modern elements are in harmony with neighboring and more traditional Puget Sound view properties yet add a wonderful, fresh dimension to this bustling waterfront area.
