the ZERO honeycomb: Net Zero, Passive House, No Foam AND an awesome staircase?!

One of the cool things about collaborating with a sculptor on the design of his house, is that you are privileged to be part of amazing, individual moments that punctuate the experience of the house.  One of these occurs at the house’s central stair going from basement to the second floor.  This stair was a collaboration between artist’s sketches overlaid with architect’s responsibility to meet building codes and be structurally sound.  The result being the ultimate definition of architecture – form and function are interdependent.
