A new dwelling concept that combines the economy and simplicity of tiny house living with cutting edge building science. A home that is smart, self-sufficient, and compact. A net-zero home that is ready for anything—and that is beautiful and elegant, too.
A tight envelope, extra insulation, efficient appliances, smart home technology and small footprint combine to reduce demand, which is completely met by a modest solar PV array and battery system. The fiber cement siding and weather-tight acrylic roof coating protect The Arc House from moisture, wind, fire and UV damage.
Extensive wood trim brings elegance and warmth to the functional features of The Arc House interior while the ten-foot high exposed arch ceiling creates the illusion of a much larger space.
A wall of glazing, featuring super-efficient R-5 windows, takes advantage of solar heat gain and brings the outside in.
Niches and built-ins optimize space and create separation in an otherwise open plan. A fully conceived kitchen from Kitcheneering creates a functional zone within the living space.
Shelter Dynamics creates next generation housing; built more efficiently, sized for function, sustainable in design, and priced for volume sales.
