The home’s natural southeast exposure allowed Nathaniel to open the south façade for winter passive solar heating, and with the use of the dark colored floors, the building works like a large solar collector in the winter months substantially offsetting the required mechanical heating load necessary in our climate.

All fabrication and construction for this home was performed by Nathaniel and various other members of the local Northern Nevada architectural community. b
