Entry & Fireplace
New Mexican style plaster fireplace off the entry featuring niches, rough-wood vigas & latillas, and reclaimed wood beams and flooring.
Inspired by the architecture of the Pueblo Indians, the NZE Moore house was designed by Doerr Architecture to create more energy than it uses, a net-zero energy home. This extremely green Colorado Rocky Mountain home's southwestern style features stucco, traditional turquoise colored windows, rough-wood vigas, and salvaged columns.
The US Energy Star program states that a standard new home has a HERS (Home Energy Rating System) score of 100. The better a home performs, the lower its HERS score. The green building strategies used on the Moore Studio earned it an amazing and verified HERS score of -3; one of a few houses in the US to ever do this.
