Dave Ellis Construction
School Way Green Addition
Foundation and walls
built out of Durisol Block. These blocks create a thermal mass that doesn't allow heat or cold transfer between the inside and outside
environments. Insulation was a soy based foam that exceeded the recommended R values. The greenhouse on the back of the addition allows
for year round garden management and keeps the area warmer in the winter months.
The first floor consists of a three season porch
designed to support the rain barrels located on top, an office area, bathroom, laundry area and a greenhouse. The basement has a root
cellar and the second floor is a family room.
