Lake City, Colo., Nov. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The VISION House Austin, meticulously designed by internationally renowned architect Peter Pfeiffer and his Austin-based Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture team, has been designed for optimal climate responsiveness using passive solar design to maintain a comfortable indoor environment.

lan Barley and Pfeiffer, co-owners of the firm, are big believers in layering. They start with a deep study of the site they're working with and design a home that complements the location and their client's preferences. Next, they layer in sustainable products and systems that will enhance the performance of a well-designed and carefully built home.

Because this house needs to perform well in a hot climate, the design team selected products that would hold up to the heat. They also leaned on design to achieve performance, such as overhangs to create shade and positioning each house appropriately on its site. They also focus on innovations that have made it easier to build a resilient, sustainable, high-performance house.
