City Cabins: Health, comfort and joy

Martha Rose’s  newest high-performance City Cabins™  in Seattle are designed and built to be extremely energy efficient , healthy and comfortable to live in. Rose’s new homes have an extreme tight well sealed building envelope and an advance insulation package which help reduce the amount of pollutants that seep through.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks poor indoor air quality as one of the top five health risks in the U.S.  In a 2004 report by the EPA found that indoor pollutant levels may be two to five times higher than outdoor levels

Having tighter envelopes demands that the homes have a good well balanced air-ventilation system; the City Cabins™ are equipment with heat-recovery-ventilators which provide the home with a minimum of 5 complete air exchanges daily.  The exhausted interior air is exchanged with filtered incoming fresh air that is distributed throughout the home.

Creating a healthy indoor environment by improving a home’s air quality starts at the design and planning stages for the new high-performance City Cabins™.  Designed and built to keep moisture and pollutions out, selecting materials and finishes that don’t contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are just a few of the strategies that go into the whole house building process.

The goal of the new City Cabins™ is to have a home that is comfortable and healthier to live in.

The City Cabins are scheduled for an early 2015 completion and are now available for pre-sales, for more information contact Adrian Willanger 206 909-7536.
