New covered porches connect the interior spaces to the landscape, which is being cultivated into gardens and permaculture habitat. The home’s shell is highly insulated and sealed for controlled air exchange and is heated using a high-efficiency, heat pump system.Insulation materials, such as fiber-board and cellulose, were specifically selected for their carbon-neutral production cost. Lumber was salvaged from the house’s deconstruction process and from a local demolished factory to create built-in furniture and flooring. We also hand-built decorative and structural steel elements at The Steel Yard, a Providence-based community art space.
