Millhaus Case Study: Finding Harmon Between Health, Comfort, and Performance
May 18, 12 MT | 2pm ET
Hosted by: Passive House Rocky Mountains
Featuring: Greg Fisher, Greg Fisher Architects
Millhaus is a single-family home located on the site of a former cherry mill near Fort Collins, Colorado. The home was designed and constructed by architect Greg Fisher, with the assistance of many others. Millhaus provides an elegant solution in harmony with the typical health, comfort, and performance benefits that a Passive House provides. This NAPHN Live will address the design and construction solutions and challenges unique to this project as well as some of the things learned in the process.
