An off-the-grid home on steroids
 

Hybrid House XTR is a preliminary design for a private client planning to move to the Hudson Valley. It is derivative of the historic barn house typology yet earth-sheltered for insulation. Even without an energy system, it will be livable. Its structure is a hybrid of prefabricated and conventional elements for cost-effectiveness and is geared with a super-insulating green roof, a solar field with high-capacity batteries, and a geothermal system, which harvests the thermal efficiency of soil 100 feet below by running water through it. All of this enables the user to eliminate utility-reliance and achieve a net-zero carbon footprint.
Hybrid House XTR is a streamlined eco-design for the remote-working city dweller looking to explore the country in a futuristic setting. If you want an electric helicopter pad, we can add that too.
