Renew your spirit while enjoying renewable energy. Designed for those desiring a green lifestyle, without sacrificing luxury, the Lode is completely self-sufficient for all of its needs. It incorporates state-of-the-art technologies for remote, off-grid applications. Non-combustible building materials, along with a fire suppression system and a remote monitoring and security control system, provide peace of mind. High insulation values balance passive solar winter/summer comfort.

The earth heats the house via a geothermal system. The sun provides all necessary power via photovoltaics. The well-supplied domestic water system, waste treatment, and back-up gas fired heating and electric generation systems are of the highest quality. Yet, this LEED-compliant dwelling, with its Tuscan color palate and organic materials, embodies the warmth and coziness demanded by its mountaintop setting.
