Gehring Residence (aka Silver Mesa Ranch)
This sunny, simple, contemporary Prairie-style home acheives HERS 45 with no renewables. Silver Mesa Ranch blends quietly into the surrounding hills, and takes full advantage of the stunning views, carefully sheilding out neighboring development and capturing foothill and plains panoramas. It includes passive solar design, an off-the-shelf mechanical systems, HRV, high performance windows, and a uniquely camoflaged rooftop Coolerado evaporative cooler (in the chinmey).
