This is a new shingle style home built on the footprint of a classic old family vacation cottage. It is heated with a state of the art gas heating system and high velocity cooling using small, 2” diameter nozzles in the floors and ceilings. Radiant heat is used in the floors, along with European style wall panel radiators.

The challenge here was to design a system with heating and cooling for each level while not impacting the old cottage feel within the home. High efficiency filtration and Nortec humidifiers are used to maintain a very comfortable year round environment on the water.
