“A rustic, modern designed mountain house with little maintenance required and nothing but character.”
 
Featuring south-facing windows to capture free winter heat, and a carefully crafted overhang for summer shade, Elderberry Glen integrates passive solar design principles tailored to Colorado’s abundant sunshine. The positive outcomes include a significant reduction of reliance on mechanical heating and cooling systems leading to lower energy costs and therefore, a smaller environmental footprint. 

This thoughtfully designed custom home in Pagosa Springs is “the talk of the neighborhood,” and emblematic of old world technologies rediscovered within current sustainable construction practices.
