Farnham avenue house is a single-family detached residentail infill project. Some of the Eco-friendly design aspects are time honored such as, vertical ventilation and natural daylight shafts, dynamic cross ventilation, passive solar shading, and super insulation. Other features have been around for a long time, but are not that common on a confined city lot, such as geothermal heating and cooling. There are major elements that are reclaimed such as the exterior brick and structural timbers. Numerous locally sourced materials are incorporated. And some components are cutting edge technology, such as the bi-facial solar panels tied into the Ontario government's FIT (feed-in Tariff) program. This house is a merging of old and new eco friendly architectural technologies.

Contemporary living room with Hunter Douglas Roller Shades and beautiful custom drapery. The drapery rod was painted the color of the ceiling to hide it as much as we could! How great is that idea?

My clients purchased this house for their family, excited about the sun-filled family room. As I have found many times, the clients realized that the amount of sun was more than they planned; it made watching television difficult, as well as fading upholstery and carpet. The clients had solar shades installed, which they can operate on a remote control system. This is good, since the shades are very high, but the shades needed to be concealed somehow. A handyman came up with these wood cornices, which did conceal the shades, but became an eyesore themselves. I suggested that the client paint them the same color as the walls, to make them visually disappear, and we would add new curtain panels.
