2. Adam Style Home
This traditional Adam style home was built in an L shape in order to fit on the lot
❖
surrounding one of Northville’s oldest oak trees. It was important to the homeowner to
maintain the integrity of the tree and build an environmentally conscious home. The
driveway around the tree was built out of permeable brick pavers to allow water to seep
down to the tree’s root system. The belvedere windows on top of the house allow light to
shine down to the interior 2nd floor rooms and the 1st floor kitchen. The octagon kitchen was
designed to be the center of the home with easy access to the family and dining rooms. It
provides encompassing views out of the great room windows, rear sliding doors, the foyer
and front door. A Geo Thermal System heats and cools the house using well water in an
open loop system. The open loop allows the water to seep back into the ground and
replenish the well. The well is also used for irrigation to help conserve the use of water. The
homes insulation is made of recycled newspaper called Cellulose insulation. Cellulose
insulation was used in the walls and ceilings. Icynene foam insulation was used to seal up
the bonds. The exterior of the home is mainly brick with fiber cement siding. All the
entries into the house are covered and the roof overhangs are all oversized to help control
the inside temperature of the home.
