Moon Beam Modern

Home Information

Moon Beam Modern was designed to strike a balance between high-performance features, modern
finishes, and a tight budget. This goal led us to start with a simple form of two rectangles and add in the
most important comfort, durability, health, safety, and convenience features. The home goes well above
code-required minimum insulation levels and air tightness with a fully insulated passive house style slab
on grade foundation, exterior insulation, upgraded windows, an unvented conditioned attic, and airtight
building methodologies.
A small one ton heat pump heats and cools the all-electric home and a high efficiency ERV provides
constant fresh air with heat recovery for a healthy home. The open layout with tall ceilings, tall doors, and
expansive windows lives larger than its 1655 square foot footprint. Owner convenience attributes
incorporated here include a groutless shower system for ease of cleaning, fast hot water delivery time
system, curbless shower entries, large workstation kitchen sink, ultra low maintenance exterior with a
combination of standing seam metal roof and siding, stucco, and composite wood that will never need
paint or stain, and a ground gutter system instead of traditional roof gutters. The landscaping follows the
home design with low maintenance artificial grass, drought-tolerant plants, and spacious concrete patios
for the owner's enjoyment.
We hope you can appreciate some of the simple, innovative, and modern design decisions chosen for this
home that make it a comfortable, durable, and enjoyable environment.
