Another cool thing - Newhouse's air leakage rate is 0.053 cfm/sf @ 75 pa (0.23 ACH50) - beating the passive house target without it being a formal goal!
Lots of coordination went into airtightness detailing here, specifically at mass timber panels and steel structure elements.
The original Newhouse Building was meant to be temporary, yet lasted 90 yrs.
The replacement building is a timeless addition to the WA Capitol Campus. Mass timber/steel structure w/ reclaimed sandstone & douglas fir.

A bit behind one of the first events after our house fire - the cause & origin inspection. #rebuildinghome

Chat, I recently had a devastating fire at home, the building I love most, and am still reeling from it.
I hope to document the rebuilding journey by writing about it. I hope you'll follow along.
Totally candid, feedback encouraged.

I bet the bird that lived here was cozy for a while. My guess is northern flicker - any other guesses? (House in Seattle)
Got to tour the cave dwellings in Mesa Verde NP on our summer family road trip.
Very humbling to see common sense building science in ancient pueblo construction - overhang protection, small openings, thermal mass. The fresh air intake shafts probably awed me the most though.

Spotted on Lake City Way today. As a former Brooklyn resident - I'm excited to have a great bagel option near my office with @rachels_bagels.
Love this walkable neighborhood and its many small businesses.
I may have a building assessment lined up for Monday with a Project Architect and Owner. I have been waiting for the opportunity to execute this April Fool's Day joke onsite for some time now.....
