BarlisWedlick’s first retrofit Passive House renovation

Located in Pound Ridge, New York, the 8,694 sq ft house was completed in stages, so it could be fully occupied during its construction

by Nav Pal 18 May 2022 Sustainable Buildings

Originally built in the 1980s,  the house features structural insulated panels over its timber frame structure. BarlisWedlick and Olson // Twombly developed a masterplan, used the EnerPHit process and implemented Passive House detailing in order to improve the project’s energy efficiency.  

Reducing energy by 77%, the home features an insulated envelope with new hardwood rainscreen siding, complete with entirely replaced airtight triple pane insulated windows and exterior doors. 

The roof was treated from the inside with airtight connections, and solar PV panels and a backup battery system were integrated to enforce the owners’ desire to be net zero. The foundation walls were insulated by excavation, and the home’s chimneys and three fireplaces were air sealed, along with the Dutch oven. 

The family’s entry path through the garage was redesigned with a mudroom, connecting the front porch to the rear porch, without sacrificing storage. A daily workspace is also included in the mudroom.  

The front entry is open to the rest of the home and includes a new staircase clad with the same materials as the staircase to the third floor family room. The kitchen is laid out to provide protected workspaces allowing guests to stay connected, while large southern windows increase light flow throughout.
