Granger LEED Platinum Custom Home

The first building constructed entirely of salvaged felled trees from within Portland city limits, the owners wanted to ensure the home had as light a footprint as possible. Featuring an attached studio apartment [also known as an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU)], a 3,000 gallon potable rainwater harvesting system, hydronic heated earthen floors, staggered stud super-insulated shell, and a 6 KW Photo Voltaic (PV) array this LEED-H Platinum certified home topped the green building rankings for its time.
