*** MULTIPLE OFFERS, HB DUE BY 8PM 6/25 *** The Prescott Passive House was the 6th residence built by Studio 804 in KC. Designed to exceed both Passivhaus and LEED Platinum standards, this home aims at being the first certified Passivhaus in the state of Kansas, and is one of only a handful in the country. To obtain its goal of a ninety percent reduction in heating and cooling energy demand, the house uses low-cost passive strategies such as louvers, thermal mass, high performance windows, super insulation, southern orientation, and an airtight building envelope. An energy recovery ventilator works in conjunction with these strategies to temper fresh intake air with energy from the exhaust air, providing constant fresh air year round. Loaded with natural light, this open floor plan provides plenty of living space both inside and outside on the 400 sq ft deck with city views. Remote controlled operable skylights create the only break in the northern envelope of the house, and operable glazing stretches the entire length of the southern side to encourage natural ventilation. This impressive façade is protected by louvers optimally angled to allow winter heat gain yet block sunlight from penetrating the house in the summer. Downstairs, a full walkout basement provides ample storage as well as a finished basement/flex room located directly off of the carport. The entire house was framed in engineered lumber. The width of the joists allowed for the wall (12”) and roof (16”) depths needed to house the thick cellulose insulation required for Passivhaus rating. The exterior of the Prescott Passivhaus is clad in a charred Douglas fir rain screen. This low-maintenance assembly yields a UV-protected dark black finish to the house. Recycled paper windowsills and countertops, bamboo flooring, and a concrete, thermal mass-providing floor complement the clean white interior walls and ceiling. The home is absolutely incredible, and a must see. Trust me, in person is even better.
