"reBuild Workshop reimagined a two-story timber-frame townhouse as a light-filled, high-performance home through a comprehensive renovation and vertical addition. The project introduces a dramatic double-height kitchen, expansive new window openings...
From the outset, the owners set an ambitious benchmark: a home designed for long-term resilience, comfort, and low environmental impact. reBuild responded by conceiving Java Haus as a Passive House–level project, threading energy performance through every decision. A high-performance envelope, locally fabricated triple-glazed windows, and strategic shading maximize daylight while minimizing heat gain. An 8.4 kW solar array powers the home's all-electric systems, and smart home technology continuously monitors and optimizes energy use — together delivering a low-carbon residence built to endure."
