Wellfleet House is a vacation home designed by Boston-based ZeroEnergy Design for a family who lives in San Francisco. With a ultra low energy consumption this modern green home offers both a vacation destination on Cape Cod near local family members and an opportunity for rental income.

惠弗莱之家是波士顿ZeroEnergy公司为一个住在旧金山的家庭设计的度假屋。这座现代化的绿色住宅能耗极低，既提供了靠近当地家庭成员的科德角度假胜地，也提供了租房收入的机会。

FAMILY ROOTS. A West Coast couple living in the San Francisco Bay Area sought a permanent East Coast vacation home near family members living on Cape Cod. As academic professionals focused on sustainability, they sought a green, energy efficient home that was well-aligned with their values. With no green homes available for sale on Cape Cod, they decided to purchase land near their family and build their own.

家族根源。一对住在旧金山湾区的西海岸夫妇在科德角附近寻找一个永久的东海岸度假之家。当学术专业人士专注于可持续性时，他们寻求的是一个绿色的、节能的、与他们的价值观完全一致的家园。由于在科德角没有可供出售的绿色住宅，他们决定在自家附近购买土地并建造自己的房子。

SLOPED SITE. Comprised of a 3/4 acre lot nestled in the pines, the steeply sloping terrain called for a plan that embraced and took advantage of the slope. Of equal priority was optimizing solar exposure, preserving privacy from abutters, and creating outdoor living space. The design accomplished these goals with a simple, rectilinear form, offering living space on the both entry and lower/basement levels. The stepped foundation allows for a walk-out basement level with light-filled living space on the down-hill side of the home. The traditional basement on the eastern, up-hill side houses mechanical equipment and a home gym. The Wellfleet house welcomes natural light throughout, captures views of the forest, and delivers entertainment space that connects indoor living space to outdoor deck and dining patio.

倾斜的场地。由一片3/4英亩的土地组成，坐落在松树上，陡峭的坡地需要一个计划，拥抱并利用这片斜坡。同样重要的是优化太阳曝光量，保护隐私，创造室外生活空间。该设计以简单、直线的形式实现了这些目标，在入口和底层/地下室都提供了居住空间。阶梯式地基允许一个走出地下室的水平与光线填充的居住空间，在下山一侧的家。传统的地下室位于东部，山上有机械设备和家庭健身房.威尔斯弗莱豪斯欢迎自然光贯穿始终，捕捉森林景观，并提供连接室内生活空间与室外甲板和餐厅露台的娱乐空间。

MODERN VISION. The clean building form and uncomplicated finishes pay homage to the modern architectural legacy on the outer Cape. Durable and economical fiber cement panels, fixed with aluminum channels, clad the primary form. Cedar clapboards provide a visual accent at the south-facing living room, which extends a single roof plane to cover the entry porch.

现代视野。干净的建筑形式和简单的完成对现代建筑遗产的外角表示敬意。耐用经济的纤维水泥面板，固定铝通道，包覆的主要形式。雪松的隔板在朝南的客厅提供了视觉上的口音，它延伸了一个单一的屋顶平面来覆盖入口门廊。

SMART USE OF SPACE. On the entry level, the “L”-shaped living, dining, and kitchen space connects to the exterior living, dining, and grilling spaces to effectively double the home’s summertime entertainment area. Placed at the western end of the entry level (where it can retain privacy but still claim expansive downhill views) is the master suite with a built-in study. The lower level has two guest bedrooms, a second full bathroom, and laundry. The flexibility of the space—crucial in a house with a modest footprint—emerges in one of the guest bedrooms, which doubles as home office by opening the barn-style double doors to connect it to the bright, airy open stair leading up to the entry level. Thoughtful design, generous ceiling heights and large windows transform the modest 1,100 sf* footprint into a well-lit, spacious home. *(total finished space is 1800 sf)

聪明地利用空间。在入门层面上，“L”形的生活、餐饮和厨房空间与外部生活、餐饮和烧烤空间相连，有效地使家庭夏季娱乐区域翻了一番。位于入门级的西端(它可以保留隐私，但仍然拥有广阔的下坡景观)是一套内置研究的主套房。下层有两间客房，另一间是完整的浴室和洗衣房。这一空间的灵活性-在一个脚印适中的房子中至关重要-出现在其中一间客房里，这间客房通过打开谷仓式的双门将其与通往入门层的明亮、通风的开放式楼梯连接起来，成为家庭办公室的两倍。经过深思熟虑的设计，大方的天花板高度和大窗户把这个朴素的1100 SF*脚印转变成一个光线充足、宽敞的家。*(完工总面积为1800 SF)

RENTAL INCOME. The property works for its owners by netting rental income when the owners are home in San Francisco. The Wellfleet house especially caters to vacationers bound for nearby Mayo Beach and includes an outdoor shower adjacent to the lower level entry door. In contrast to the bare bones cottages that are typically available on the Cape, this home offers prospective tenants a modern aesthetic, paired with luxurious and green features. Durable finishes inside and out will ensure longevity with the heavier use that comes with a rental property.

租金收入。当房主住在旧金山时，这些房产为业主提供了净租金收入。威福酒店特别适合前往附近梅奥海滩的度假者，并包括靠近较低层入口门的室外淋浴。与通常在开普角提供的裸骨小屋不同的是，这座房子为未来的租户提供了一种现代的美学，配以奢华和绿色的特色。持久的内部和外完成将确保寿命与更重的用途，与租赁财产。

COMFORT YEAR-ROUND. The home is super-insulated and air-tight, with mechanical ventilation to provide continuous fresh air from the outside. High performance triple-paned windows complement the building enclosure and maximize passive solar gain while ensuring a warm, draft-free winter, even when sitting close to the glass. A properly sized air source heat pump offers efficient heating - cooling, and includes a carefully designed the duct distribution system to provide even comfort throughout the house. The super-insulated envelope allows us to significantly reduce the equipment capacity, duct size, and airflow quantities, while maintaining unparalleled thermal comfort.

全年舒适。家庭是超绝缘和密封，机械通风提供持续新鲜的空气从外面。高性能三面窗补充建筑外壳，最大限度地增加被动式太阳能增益，同时确保一个温暖的，无牵伸的冬天，即使是坐在靠近玻璃。适当尺寸的空气源热泵提供有效的加热。

ENERGY EFFICIENT. The building’s shell and mechanical systems play instrumental roles in the home’s exceptional performance. The building enclosure reduces the most significant energy glutton: heating. Continuous super-insulation, thorough air sealing, triple-pane windows, and passive solar gain work together to yield a miniscule heating load. All active energy consumers are extremely efficient: an air source heat pump for heating and cooling, a heat pump hot water heater, LED lighting, energy recovery ventilation (ERV), and high efficiency appliances. The result is a home that uses 70% less energy than a similar new home built to code requirements.

节能。建筑物的外壳和机械系统在家庭的出色表现中起着至关重要的作用。建筑围护结构减少了最重要的能量消耗：加热。连续的超绝缘，彻底的空气密封，三面窗，和被动式太阳能增益一起工作，以产生一个微乎其微的加热负荷。所有的活动能源消耗都是非常有效的：用于加热和冷却的空气源热泵、热泵热水加热器、LED照明、能量回收通风(ERV)和高效电器。其结果是，一个家庭使用70%的能源比一个类似的新房子建造代码要求。

OVERALL. The home embodies the owners’ goals and values while comprehensively enabling thermal comfort, energy efficiency, a vacation respite, and supplementary income.

总的来说。住宅体现了业主的目标和价值观，同时全面实现了热舒适、能源效率、假期休息和补充收入。
