The winner of a 2011 American Institute of Architects Merit Award from the Kentucky Society of Architects, this project renovated an existing outbuilding on the same site as the Raven Run Residence into an office for the CSC Design Studio. The addition of a grid-intertied 5.25kW (30 module) solar photovoltaic array with microinverters is planned to offset the electrical usage of both the existing house and the office on an annual net basis, creating a net-zero energy development. The office renovation included the addition of insulation, a rain screen and new cedar siding, new windows and doors, a high efficiency wood stove, and interior bookcases and tables.
