Construction Watch Tour: Passive House


Robert Curtis Architects presents their latest residential design in the Palisades neighborhood of Washington, D.C.: a low-energy, high-value, 2,800-square-foot Passive House, built in alignment with the highest level of construction quality in the world. This tour, led by Robert Curtis, NCARB, principal, and Oliver Curtis, HERS Rater, construction manager, will discuss the firm’s approach to merging maximum power design with Passive House construction techniques, which incorporates some of the latest innovations in material selection, structural design, and infrastructure.
