High Performance Homes

Hybrid homes

Hybrid homes use a combination of natural and manufactured materials to provide the look and feel of components such as timber, stone, or reclaimed materials. Clients who like this type of construction usually like to minimize the use of manmade materials and seek more comfortable and casual living space that natural materials bring. This style utilizes modern architecture with references to traditional methods integrating unique accents and innovative designs. The benefits are the reduction of environmental impact while providing more flexible, private, and functional spatial requirements.

There are a few drawbacks like the need for specialized construction methods and materials. This would impact the cost of materials as well as the use of experienced craftsmen. At Bonsai, we have experience designing hybrid homes with exceptional quality, fully customized and cost-effective.

BONSAI practices Pasivhaus techniques in all our buildings, meaning that we design extremely efficient spaces that require minimal consumption of energy use.  Our commitment to sustainable design practices along with a specialized construction crew are providing clients with homes and remodels that meet or exceed current trends.
