This project was designed and developed by
Turtle Island Design out
of Greenfield Massachusetts. The objective was to design a
sustainable pottery studio. e3eco group was involved purely as a product
supplier and are extremely happy to be part of such a beautiful
application. Our focus was to ensure the envelope was as energy
efficient and as durable as possible.
Key elements of this
pottery studio are the Durisol wall
form system that allow for not only great insulation but excellent mass
wall effect as well.
The high performance
Fibertec fiberglass windows are
also used extensively on the property with double and triple glazed
windows with northern and southern low E applications - allowing for
high solar heat and low solar heat gain - based on the windows position
within the building and with the overall applications
Other great points
of design that are included in this project are the green roof and the
shading effects for summer sun.
