This client had a vision unlike any other and a 20-acre parcel of land to build it on. He aspired to build a grand home with influences of both the villas of Tuscany and the lodges of the American West that would also accommodate his young sons active life styles. He also wanted all of this done under a very tight schedule. Great Falls Construction stepped up to the plate and delivered just that. Over a period of just 15 months, the finished 15,000 square-foot home had just about everything you could dream of including an indoor arcade, home theater, full gym and basketball court. Despite its size, the residence features state-of-the-art, energy efficient technology and was built with the idea of contributing to the green revolution. This was achieved by minimizing waste during construction, limiting the use of fossil fuels and building with natural materials. The home itself also features a high-tech engine room with an advanced H/VAC system where 11 geothermal wells transfer both heat and cooling through heat pumps. The air conditioning is on an energy-saving, six-zone system and the Loewen windows are built for maximum draft resistance while the entire home is insulated with Icynene foam.
