Howell Passive House Plus

Personalized Design

Bright Haus plans were modified to include a stand alone mudroom/ mechanical space on the main floor, as well as a dedicated master bath and closet/ laundry space on the second floor—adding about 9’ in length to the original design plans.

The corner lot opened up possibilities to orient the building properly towards the south—maximizing passive and active solar heat gain potential and enabling this design to achieve Passive House Plus certification.

A custom-kitchen and premium baths further elevate the basic Bright Haus design and will be paired with a colorful exterior that reflects the owners’ cheerful and positive personalities.

While the open first floor plan is invitingly spacious, the second floor offers smaller spaces which will be used for home office and guest quarters with an innovative second bath that separates the shower stall from the toilet and sink area so that multiple people can use the facilities at the same time if need be. The two stalls are separated by an obscured glass pane that allows for daylighting of both spaces while maintaining visual separation.
