Meadowlark Builders Offers Dexter Green House Tour Dec. 13-14

ANN ARBOR - Meadowlark Builders will be conducting tours of a custom, resource-efficient home under construction in Dexter, the next installment in Meadowlarks Behind The Drywall Tour Series.

Attendees will get a rare glimpse of the technology and building techniques that go into constructing a resource-efficient home all before the drywall is placed on the walls. Guided tours will take place on Saturday and Sunday, December 13 and 14. This custom home, named Green Country Ranch, sits on an idyllic five-acre lot with a great view looking south over a meadow of waving grass.

Our clients are from Ireland and France and were used to smaller homes that last forever. They wanted a country setting, but were adamantly opposed to the large mcmansions mandated by the community review board. They came to us looking for something smaller that was resource efficient and better built than most of the current construction they had viewed, said Meadowlark President Doug Selby.

Working with the review committee was challenging, but - we ended up with a home that had the smallest possible square footage that could be built in the community, and it had all the elements of the smaller, more efficient home that our clients desired, Selby added.

Along with a durable and efficient building envelope, advanced HVAC system, and lots of green technology, this custom home has been designed and built to ensure that the owners will be able to stay in the home long into the future regardless of how their accessibility requirements change or how energy prices rise.

This home features:

Geothermal Heating and Cooling

Superior Walls foundation

Hot roof

Advanced thermal envelope
