The Sunspace is everyone's favorite room. Scout enjoys the sunlight, watching the squirrels outside, and the tile floor. The narrow area of the Sunspace is the "Gallery" - a great place to sit with the newspaper, a cup of coffee, or a good friend. The wider section can have a table and chairs, or desk.

Paddle fans can "jump start" the air flow and reverse the direction when appropriate. Awning windows (left) open into the upstairs guest bedroom. Above you can see the airspace that runs between the rafters, allowing the solar heated air to flow to the North side of the house and then into the basement and back to the Sunspace. {Bottom three Images* John Kontekakis}

The interior partition walls can be finished with sheetrock to add color. Daphne has many mementos from Japan that are displayed throughout the house. {Top left Image* John Kontekakis}

The lower level is unfinished, but bright, airy and comfortable for use as a workshop, craft space, or workout area. Utilities are downstairs as well

Mario and Daphne were involved with the design and construction of their Enertia® home from start to finish. The satisfaction of completing such a huge project is immense. As Daphne says, "We feel so calm in this house. It is such a natural and secure feeling home. I know that if there is a disaster or crisis we will be alright, and that this home will be here for hundreds of years."
