SoLo House, British Columbia

SoLo House, British Columbia Share Sitting lightly upon a forested knoll overlooking the Soo Valley in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, Perkins and Will’s performance-led project  is not a typical alpine home. Designed for Vancouver-based developer, Delta Land Development, the home is a prototype for low-energy systems, healthy materials, and prefabricated and modular construction methods intended to inform larger projects.

With the goal to eliminate fossil fuels and combustion from its operation, Perkins&Will incorporated a photovoltaic array, geo-exchange system, and hydrogen fuel cell as a backup energy storage solution. Although it reduces efficiency, the site’s topography, along with the snow accumulation in winter, led us to mount the 32kW array vertically on the south façade. Complementing the home’s solar generation, future provision for wind power was provided. The house collects and treats its own drinking water and processes its wastewater. The result is a self-sufficient house that generates more energy than it uses beyond net-zero energy.
