Davidson and his team have become pros at implementing space-saving strategies like built-in millwork, ceiling-height cabinets and open-concept plans, which they did here. Space efficiency extends to the outdoor areas too, where the design team made room for a terrace. “For passive houses, one of the most important features is a really good performing window and door, so for the last five years we’ve been bringing in a lot of these really nice windows… [and] the interior design scheme starts to pick up on those wood textures,” Davidson said.
