Future Proof Tudor

Designed by Lyse Messmer

The Future Proof Tudor retains the character of an English cottage, while adapting materials and interior architecture for a changing climate and modern amenities. The metal roof and lack of eaves decreases the house's fire risk. Taking a page out of turn-of-the-century architecture, every living space has a cross-breeze, small spaces are tucked away for extra-domestic use (as additional storage, play rooms, or office space), and vaulted ceilings give the home character. At the East and West exposures, window seat alcoves act as internal eaves, sheltering the living space from hot sunlight in the summer and letting in the heat in the winter. All of these features will save air conditioning and heating costs in the future, while costing very little to implement today. Other cost saving measures include identical roof pitches throughout the home (saving on structure costs), and efficient window and door selection for simple ordering.

This home is cozy and familiar, designed to grow with you and your family, while protecting your investment and the sensitive Foothills landscape.
