Madaus Residence :: Hyannis, MA
Dr. Martin Madaus worked with architect Alison Alessi to design and construct the Net Zero House for his family. Simply put, the home produces as much energy as it uses. It’s a self-sufficient structure that’s not only refreshingly clean and modern in appearance, but also in function. It produces all of the energy it needs for heating, cooling, cooking, water heating and more.
When you think of Cape Cod architecture, no doubt, you have notions of low, broad framed, symmetrical homes with pitched roofs, gables and clapboard shingles. While this style of home has defined regional architecture in New England since the 17th century, Dr. Martin Madaus’s Hyannis home broke out of that mold. He worked with A + E Architects and SieMatic Boston to design a home with a footprint and overall design concept that may serve as an easily replicable model for modern energy efficiency. While the home does use local vernacular materials, its form and function is much less traditional. Read more...
