Alpine House, Intervale, NH

Small House Living

This 1,100 square-foot-home is built as a slab-on-grade with two bedrooms, one bath and an upstairs loft used as an office and storage area. Throughout the design and build process, decision-making centered around function, cost, energy efficiency and sustainability. The home meets the requirements of the Passive House standard with its features of all-electric appliances, an air-source heat pump, air exchange system, and a wood-burning Tulikivi. While compact in footprint, Alpine House creates a stunning setting amongst the trees and provides the comforts of home in a well-appointed, open space connected to the outdoors.
