The Lake O’Dowd Residence pairs mid-century modern design with high-performance sustainability. At 6,800 sq ft, the home features triple-pane windows, R-50 cellulose roof insulation, and R-34 spray foam walls—projected to save over $8,000 annually on utilities.
Geothermal HVAC, in-floor hydronic heating, and a balanced ERV system ensure year-round comfort and clean air. Energy-efficient LED lighting, locally sourced thermally modified siding and kitchen hardware, and low-VOC materials—including Silestone countertops and cabinetry—reflect thoughtful, regional craftsmanship. Custom wood furnishings, like the dining table, bring warmth to the interiors.
With native prairie landscaping and top-tier certifications from ENERGY STAR, EPA Indoor airPLUS, DOE Zero Energy Ready Homes, and MN Green Path Master Level, this home sets a new standard for sustainable living.
