Alley House 2 has been a big hit: a 1,687 square-foot home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a flexible-use basement that can serve as either a garage, legal ADU, or studio/workshop. Plus, it achieved a LEED Platinum rating and has a high Walk Score. Sustainable features include advanced framing, ample natural light, solar hot water, hydronic in-floor heat, on-demand hot water, zero- and low-VOC finishes, strand bamboo flooring, rainscreen siding, pervious paving, drought-tolerant plantings, a roof ready for vegetation and solar PV, Super High Performance Fiberglass windows, and a Heat Recovery Vent. This project was awarded Home of the Year (Modular Category) by Green Builder magazine. Developer: Cascade Built Landscape Architect: Banyon Tree Design Photos: Sloan Ritchie
