Integrating high-end modern design and a commitment to green building, the Wheeler Residence makes use of an existing foundation to create dramatic living spaces that flow into the landscape.

The material palette includes COR-TEN steel, stained concrete mixed with fly-ash, and FinPly panels. Passive ventilation, radiant floors, solar hot water and photovoltaic power dramatically reduce energy use.
