Amazing extremely energy efficient custom home with Denali and Alaska Range view! Vaulted ceilings, light and bright with full southern exposure, custom lighting design, custom wood work through home including local birch trim and local spruce siding. Home was constructed by the owner as contractor and was five star plus when built. The carpenters were skilled home builders who were nationally prominent for geodesic design construction. Custom design was developed in consultation with Mike Musick, a well known local home builder, and engineered by local engineer, David Lanning. Details on construction are too numerous to note in entirety, but include: double wall construction; a passive induction, baffled cold roof dome construction with ice and water shield; large south facing 2 story dormer window wall with Denali view; energy efficient Alaska windows throughout; an HRV with air filtration system for high air quality even during the fire season; an air equalizer to efficiently distribute the heat throughout the house; and careful attention to the vapor barrier. House site was selected at noon on December 21st and house was positioned so as to take full advantage of the limited sun on the darkest day of the year and to maximize solar gain. Great neighborhood with easy access to trails, large garage for projects, sunny southern exposure Trex deck and an outdoor sauna. Also includes a guest dome house which is fully insulated, with electricity, ventilation system, and heated with a wood stove.
