Redefining ‘Carbon Neutrality’
By Collin Tomb
In designing his own house, Architect Jim Logan was challenged by his “client” (wife Sherry Wiggins) to build a “box of light.” Bucking the trend of expansion, the house occupies the same 1400 sq. ft. footprint as the one it replaced, and keeps to one story with a finished basement. Light penetrates the compact space from all sides –broad window wells, high windows, and a floor-to-ceiling wall of glass looking east into the garden courtyard. Three rows of clerestories open to the south to light the main floor and provide much of the heat needed in the winter.
