Dufendach Residence, 2008, Berlin, Maryland

This addition to an existing bungalow is designed for maximum energy efficiency through passive-solar design and high-efficiency mechanical systems. It blends with the dominant traditional style of the neighborhood while providing dynamic interior spaces and a strong connection to the outdoors.

The sharp angle aligns the back wall to a true-South orientation, allowing excellent passive-solar control.

The addition is at the back of the home. Care was taken to maintain the traditional character of the home from the street.
