We will share our journey of taking a historical 1919 built Spanish Eclectic style home designed by Edwin Ivy on the shores of Lake Washington into Dwells next Net Zero Energy home.

Dwell principals Anthony and Abbey Maschmedt will share how we took this beautiful old home, preserved it, adding in all of our current sustainable systems used at Dwell, and put it all back together as a new home with old world charm and character as well as achieving NZE status. How we saved this beautiful home from the wreaking ball and landfill, and instead created a pathway for a rebirth of a home that will now live on for another 100 years,. Only difference is that this time around, it will do so by creating more renewable energy on site then it needs to operate. We will show you all how we did it step my amazing step!
