The VISION House at Mariposa Meadows is a Green Builder Media living laboratory project with actual built homes. The three homes that make up the Mariposa Meadows project are designed to be part research center and part corporate get-away.
Built to be interactive exhibits they feature a wide spectrum of sustainable solutions, from high-performance building envelope systems using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) to renewables and enabling technologies including: Super Insulated and air tight envelopes, stand-alone solar power, fresh well water, waste reductio, onsite food sources and sustainable living solutions
The three projects are three separate homes: the Atrium Duet, two living units connected by a central enclosed atrium/living space, the Aspen Cabin - two-story structure with an open loft, and the Studio, a two-story structure with a garage on the first floor with a studio on the second floor.
