Lost River House a Helicon Works project

Although the exterior of The Lost River House was designed to look like a traditional farm house that had been altered by generations of family owners, this house was a completely new construction.

It was sited to face due south to take advantage of natural light and other passive solar design strategies. Several strategies were used in combination for heating the home including thermal mass heat storage, radiant floor tubing and a masonry stove.

Use of local and sustainable materials were some of the many design considerations in creating this ecologically sensitive home.
