Here is the continuation of our client`s home tour, but this time we are highlighting the often over-looked beauty of...the mechanical ventilation system! For building science 🤓 nerds like us, this is as much of a draw as all of the architectural elements.
This high-performance home is equipped with not one, but two CERV units—a smart move for a home this size. When it comes to form and function, this setup nails it. Fresh air, heat recovery, and efficient comfort? We’re 😍 geeking out just a little.
Big thanks to Rusty for the walkthrough—your attention to detail made this project shine from framing to finish.

🏙️ Living in the city has its perks, but peace and quiet isn’t always one of them. From traffic to neighbors, unwanted noise can sneak into your space and disrupt your comfort.
That’s where high-performance windows like Alpen’s really shine. With advanced glazing, airtight seals, and sound-dampening tech, they help 🔇 turn down the volume on the outside world.
Check out our latest blog post to learn why more homeowners are choosing windows that protect their 🧘♀️ peace as much as their energy bill.�>> link in bio!

This was a great visit to a beautifully finished home featuring Alpen Tyrol 🪟 windows with 925 quad-pane glass! Rusty was a delight to work with, and the end result reflects thoughtful choices throughout.
From the high-performance glazing to custom convenience features and ADA touches for their son, this home balances 💡 energy efficiency with everyday 🏡 livability. It is a perfect example of smart and sensible design.

Taking shape in Crested Butte, CO! 🏔️ This project is in the framing stage, but the design is already showing off some serious character—especially that arched roof that perfectly echos the windows supplied by Advantage Architectural Woodwork.
Solid kudos to SmithWorks Natural Homes for the expert craftsmanship, and to Andrew Hadley Architecture for the thoughtful, striking design.

Did you know that indoor air can be 2 to 5 times worse than the air 🌬️ outside?
Humidity 💧 can be a sneaky contributor to poor indoor air quality. Excess moisture in the air can lead to mold, mildew, and a whole host of 😷 respiratory issues. And while a healthy home needs some humidity, managing it properly is key to keeping your indoor environment healthy.
Passive House design tackles this by incorporating an airtight envelope and strategic ventilation. This combination helps regulate humidity levels year-round, ensuring a comfortable 🛋️ indoor environment while maintaining energy efficiency.
Is your home designed to manage humidity and air quality effectively?
