This is the custom home I designed and am currently building: Broadview Pointe. It's designed as a passive solar home with both mountain views and city views. All rooms have a walkout terrace or courtyard. Some of the sustainable features going into this home are a greywater system, photo-voltaic solar panels, high performance spray foam non-VOC insulation, tankless water heaters, dual stage air compressors, Low-E and insulated glazing units, engineered lumber and recycled content finished products.

Here's the progress just before Christmas.

And here is a rough rendering of what it should look like when complete (some of the detailing and colors are not accurate at this stage). Notice the windows to the living space (2nd floor) are all shaded.
