HIGHLAND ZEN

REMODEL

Much of the remodel of this home involved reconfiguring all rooms and spaces for better use and circulation.

Sustainable features include new insulation, doors and windows, recycled content, zero VOC building materials along with upgraded LED lighting design and fixtures, plumbing fixtures, a new HVAC system and PV solar panels. Two 5000 gallon rain harvesting water tanks were installed for summer irrigation.
