Dolphin Terrace, Corona Del Mar
CONTEMPORARY • 13,000 SQ. FT.
Dolphin Terrace is a 12,000 square foot home built in Irvine Terrace California. This home incorporates a variety of green strategies and building techniques. The goal for this home was energy efficiency and comfort. As a primary focus, we designed the home with passive strategies such as natural ventilation and high mass floors for solar heating and storage. The home has a magnificent solar array which provides 100% of the electrical demand. The home is expected to be net zero energy. We’ve also incorporated extensive drought tolerant landscaping with drip irrigation. The landscape is fed through rain water capture and gray water recycling systems. All windows and doors are thermally broken with low e triple insulated glazing and argon gas. In add-ition the insulation is a spray in newspaper. Furthermore the home is intelligent & fully automated to inform the occupant of energy use.
