Sustainable Building Technologies
Charcoal black exterior and painted black interior Innotech Tilt and Turn Windows, Terrace Swing Doors and Tilt and Turn Doors were selected to complement the home’s bold, dark colours on the outside and inside.
Featuring a host of other sustainable building technologies, from extensive insulation (R-25 walls and R-40 roof), high-efficiency heating and cooling system, to tankless toilets, and top-of-the-line interior finishing, including quarter-sawn Walnut wood flooring, elegant Italian marble and custom-etched bronze hand rails on the staircase, Casa Nera is a truly spectacular home.
“I wanted to make a bold house, almost intimidating but warm, even sensual on the inside, and very much not woodsy and Portlandy.”
