I can’t think of a more satisfying achievement than to build a high performance home on your own land for your family. Congratulations and thanks for the inspiration. Cheers from Australia.
I will drink to this
Awesome detail on the insulated slab, I was wondering how that worked! Great job on the design.
I hear the term "modern farmhouse" and that style is neither modern nor a farmhouse, this truly fits that term.
I designed my S WI passive home 15 years ago its ICF uses the ground and passive solar to heat and cool I use no insulation in the floor just thermal mass.. Only needs a bit of electric heat if its very very cold out. Homes designed to not drop under 50f even if -15f out. Has no moving parts no air exchange no fancy materials just lots of mass and proper siting.
Can we see it ? Plans better explanation please !
Have you checked your C02 levels?
Running the metal siding in the vertical position with that corrugation pattern would make for a rainscreen effect without using all those furring strips.
Looks great! I plan to build myself an off grid Passive House to retire in. I've always wanted to live in a high efficiency, high comfort, super healthy non-toxic home. I also plan to do much of the labor myself to save money so I can spend more on the things that really matter... windows, doors, insulation, solar, etc.
Very neat project! Thanks for showcasing it.
Consider me inspired, thanks for sharing products and information!
Great job on detailed planing
This is insightful. I'm hopefully going to be building a home in 2025. I hope to apply some of these ideas.
Looks about as warm and inviting as a broken glass enema
Seriously my dream.
Outstanding. I Would like to know if you are going to video and show the rest of the build? Please do.
Can you walk around barefooted in the house when its 9 degrees outside. As long as you have warm feet i'd be okay! That is some thick walls, tech is so cool loving it! Liking those ranch layouts plans pretty sweet! I wonder if the houses plans have an option of a cellar either underneath the kitchen for storage of food and or basement on the other side of the house for extra storage too? I'd like to see a video when it's finished whole walk thru.
How thick is your slab? What Strength is it? Final question did you dye the concrete?
I would love to see a follow-up with a cost analysis.
Nice. Job …. I like the style…. I built SIP panel. Homes a few years ago.. I really enjoyed the way they went together . The panels we used Were 8 inches thick ,8 feet wide,20 feet long… R value was very high …. And the panels snapped together very easily.. used them for the floor / roof / walls .. was. Really easy to put in ..Door ways / windows / inner walls …. Sound protection and heating was far above expectations…. Solid and easy to install and clean.. drywall was a snap ,no studs to look for … renovations done later were very easy to adjust and the speed when putting it together was a third of the time it took to build anything else…. Which was a cost savings investment… Check it out if you plan on any additional projects on your property …. Have a. Fun. Day. !!
Fabulous design. I’d love to know how they are doing now.
I'd love to know how much all this cost
Yes they essentially built 2 homes with all the additional materials and labor, so how is that carbon neutral??
So Fantastic! Have u ever tried any Solar Hot Water?
Plz tell me you’re putting all solar abs even wind power on those beautiful shed roofs!!
I have so many questions…do you have a document/materials list that explains what you did/are doing in more detail? Awesome video!
We do! It’s called the Smart Enclosure guide, and it’s free and downloadable on our website. Just head to 475.supply and click the Smart Enclosure tab. It give you everything you need to design. This home was the I-Joist assembly.
can you share your designs? im curious about this shed roof design.. cant find any resources out there for larger buildings such as this
A.lot of geek talks, which to me translates into an exquisite, minimalist modern structure and future proof living space. I'm so stealing this concept 🥰.
I am truly envious, excellent job
Interesting!
any vids on the completed project?
I'd like to see the cost comparison between this and ICF
True, this is a great setup for ICF
Very cool, very interested in overall cost? Thanks 🎉
What did you use to build the porch? Steel… but what specifically? What post and beams? I have a close to passive house and am adding porch roofs and wanted to use steel but get stuck on sizing of material.., what you have is exactly what i have envision. THANK YOU! LOVE THE HOUSE!
We, at 475, don't know the answer to this question, but you can reach out to Everett on instagram: @thehomesteadmodern - best of luck with you project and let us know if there's anything we can do to support the building envelope aspects of your design.
Can you guys share what dense pack cellulose machine you used and any modifications you applied to it? I rigged a box store free blower with purchase to dense pack but it was glitchy and slow going.
Look up Cool Machines, they have what you need
Really cool! -- QUESTION -- We have a lake front lot and a bit of a high water table. We like your foundation and floor as it is well above the ground level and might employ it on our property (if we dig three feet down it gets wet so we want to stay up). Did your floor crack over the years since it is above the frost line? Why did you not use Rockwool instead of blown -n insulation?
We at 475 made the video and supplied Everett with the information and materials he needed to make the project happen, but concrete and structural elements are not our area of specialty. We do know that the home is doing quite well with no issues to report. You can check in with Everett on instagram @thehomesteadmodern
Excellent design and performance technique. Why not icf? Loved rain screen and floor insulation
thanks! a major goal of the house was to be as close to carbon neutral as possible, so as little foam and concrete as we could. The wall system is all wood and dense packed cellulose, many many tons of captured carbon.
@@everettk333 : great thought!!!! Kudos
how are the concrete floors to live on all the time isn't it tough on your back ??
Interesting, but I have a few questions, like what was the final cost of this build? What are the high and low temperatures of the seasons in your area? Why is that deck so small? Why are there no solar panels on the roof? Is there a grey water catch system? What kind of waste water / septic system did you install? What kind of HVAC did you install? Do you have grid utilities like water and sewer? What other echo-friendly, non-conventional practices or products were used for things like finishes, fixtures, and materials?
Being the farmhouse of the future, I would think that a lot more of these questions would be answered. I'm not trying to discredit your video, but that's a bold claim, considering that there are so many new systems, materials, and practices that are cutting edge. Thank you for sharing you video. Overall, it helps to raise awareness that there are better ways to build, when embarking on a lifetime investment in your family home. Cheers.
Besides passive solar, what other heating sources do you have?
I believe they have a mini-split heat pump that does the heating and cooling. Because it's so efficient, they just have one small one in each building.
Great idea and great video, thanks. I had 3 questions. 1. Is the dense packed cellulose fire resistant or water resistant? 2. What is the cost of the cellulose you used vs a similarly specked rockwool? 3. What is the lifespan/maintenance on a polished concrete floor? Thanks!
Thanks for watching! 1.) Cellulose is treated with borates, a safe, non-toxic fire retardant, and generally speaking insulation is not water resistant - that’s why we wrap buildings in water resistant barriers (in this case ADHERO). Cellulose does however manage condensation and moisture very well. 2) This is something that will vary from place to place, and must be quoted in your area. That said, cellulose is the most affordable insulation for most high performance projects. 3) 475 High Performance Building Supply provides materials for building airtightness, vapor control, and ventilation - we don’t specialize in specifics of concrete and can’t comment on that.
I’m about to build our farmhouse too, yet my concern is fire and VOCs having already lived thru breast cancer. I’m looking at hemp blocks or sawdust blocks both made w the same mix and rendered w a lime 2 mix for insect and waterproofing. Can I ask why you weren’t concerned with the toxin overload??
Hello Elwood, the Pro Clima tapes and membranes are all zero-VOC and meet the highest European standards for indoor air quality. Along with this fact, having an airtight home with constant filtered fresh air (using the Lunos system in this case), ensures high indoor air quality. I can tell you, this team was very concerned with indoor air quality and came to these choices because of that. All that aside, lime plaster is a fantastic choice for interior air barrier. The only reason more people do not choose it, has to do with availability and labor.
The design is unusual for a passive home in that the porch roof is not a continuation of the house roof. It seems like for solar gain this has to do with the internal ceiling being very high? Is there something else going on?
Functionality aside this house, structurally looks much like a wood version of the brick houses built by the unions as holiday homes for workers. Usually it would be a bunch of connected flats making one big building, very often with a row of elongated windows just under the ceiling on the taller wall to let in more light from the top. Sometimes and adjacent building would be attached on the back side of the higher wall with the roof starting just under that top row of windows and the roof falling away from that point.
So what was your cost per sq ft without appliances or other additional items?
Seems like it’s hard to boil it down to a sq ft equation: do you consider the space in between the buildings that he planned to use as livable space half the year? Do you add in loft areas? How do you account for the fact that it’s 10x more efficient than an average home? Seems like you could measure cost per sq ft of envelope area, but the actual footprint of the buildings is very small compared to the area you would use. It’s not your standard home.
Is the interior air barrier taped to the concrete slab? Is the sealed slab considered part of the interior air barrier envelope? Thank you! I did not see this detail in the great plans you published. Also, do you mount all electrical boxes horizontally in the service cavity or can you add blocking to mount vertically (especially for light switches). Thank you!
The INTELLO Plus is adhered to the concrete slab with CONTEGA HF. The concrete is considered part of the airbarrier - but one should also have a PE sheet (Stegohome) under your concrete as a capilairy break. - electrical boxes can be mounted horizontally in the service cavity if you like, or with some blocking - vertically
Thank you very much for the reply!
The next subdivision I develop will only include passive houses. Tiny bit of hidden solar on each house with a little more + some wind as back up for the neighborhood. Water, Fiber and Shit will be the only things that have to come in or out.
Get in touch when you're in the planning stages, were here to help!
What amount would you say is about the cost of the passive vs traditional. I get the savings as time goes on but not counting up front. I noticed the lam studs
The cost from standard construction to Passive House is between 1% to 10% with most falling the middle and will depend greatly on the size of the building and the decisions made in the design. For instance, the lam studs you noticed aren't a decision related to Passive House. With an experienced builder and the right choices, Passive House is possible for near cost parity.
Just curious how that is possible if you also add labor? You are doing a lot of things twice. Double walls, double vapor barrier, rain screens etc. The window and door package is also 3-4 times the cost in this home. Don’t get me wrong I really like the engineering and technology that goes into these houses but they are on a different level than most can afford. Why do you think large home builders don’t build like this? For custome homes sure.
Carbon neutral? Who made the materials, unicorns?
Great house, exact design/form as I am thinking. You didn't mention any use of solar....you have roofs sloping alternately, which might allow for that (i.e., home roof sloped N for solar heat gain via facade, garage roof sloped S for solar. Is this what you had in mind?
Hi Bill, the main house is all sloped to the south, so tons of soft for a solar array. I'm planning to live in the house for a year and really get a sense of what our electric needs are before we size the array. I think it's going to be really low since the heating and cooling load will be minimal and all the lights are LED
@everettk333 beautiful home you did a great job thanks for sharing your experience!!!
I dig it.. Yeah I agree, not sure why California homes don't have better insulation on either roof/attic space and overall for the 110 plus degree days.. and to maximize heating in the winter. I'm looking for insulation and material ideas for a rebuild out here.. I like your open space design... A lot of similar ideas.. Looks great man...
Because of cost 🤦♂️ did you see everything was done twice. Double wall double insulation double vapor barrier. The window and door package probably cost 4-5 times the average new home. It doesn’t add value for the appraisal so the builders don’t do it
How do you stop condensation inside the wall cavity
The building science used in this project follows the 475.Supply philosophy: airtight + vapor open. The materials used do not stop condensation - they encourage drying. Also, wrapping both sides of the wall in airtightness reduces the amount of condensation that is possible, because moisture is carried by air. Check out our 'Intro to Airtight Construction Methods' video to get the full deep dive: ruclips.net/video/bj4_VTlapoA/видео.html
This is awesome! Except for some of the layout, the ideas of what we're looking to build later is quite similar. It's always nice to see more supporting evidence that if done right, even just using similar principles, one can build a fantastic house without even needing to break the bank. Seeing more of this kind of thing just reminds me how much I hate cookie cutter, production built homes that just aren't that good, and yet you're paying for it because that's what they can charge.
I really like the design of this house. I'd like to someday build a barn-dominium house in Michigan that is south-facing to get as much passive solar energy from the sun as possible in the winter and have enough overhang in the summer to shade during the hot part of the day. I'm not sure I would aim for "passive standard" since I'm not sure if the cost is worth the effect, but would like to get as close as possible with a smart design.
My questions are,
(a) can this be done with a pole-barn construction method? For example, could you use a spray form for insulation?
(b) When is triple pane glass worth having?
(c) Is there a limit to how long the spans can be for a shed roof line?
Sound like you'd be interested in this project that we covered a while back: ruclips.net/video/PKXNwdvUNj4/видео.html to answer your questions: a) absolutely (see video), we would never recommend spray foam for a variety of reasons: 475.supply/blogs/foam-fails b) In Michigan, and where you are depending on solar orientation, windows are very important, triple-pane will likely be worth it c) structural is not our domain, so that would be a question for an engineer. Good luck, and reach out on our website if you'd like us to look at some details for you: 475.supply
@@475.SUPPLY Thanks!!! I'll take a look sometime today.
I wonder what the ROI is after 30 years compared to a regular home.
The roof seems especially small for the overhang
wish he went over the technicals in depth
❤
You built the house of my imagination. I know it doesn't ever stop with upgrades, etc. But mine is g9nna be similiar with water collection and solar.
Would you be interested in selling the plans?
We have a couple of options for you. 475, who produced this video, offers free details on our site. The same details that Everett used to create his home. To find those head to foursevenfive.com/smart-enclosure/ and fill out the form to get free downloads. The other option is that Everett himself has started booking consultations with people interested in following his lead. You can connect with him on his website: www.thehomesteadmodern.com/ -Good luck on your project.
@@475.SUPPLY Thank you very much!
What was the price tag?
He’s a builder so he probably didn’t track his hours and got some discounts from buddy’s. So even if he posted the price it wouldn’t reflect the actual and also it can very greatly by location due to labor prices being different
There is one thing more. Because you are building with wood, you don t have a heat mass like a stone building. Therefor a stone inside wall is probably better.
Way to go, man! Congratulations. I'm about to start building my own house inspired by many of the same principles, though I'm trying to go more hardcore minimalist to see how inexpensive and carbon negative I can get. I fully expect people will not like it at first, but maybe that's a feature, not a bug. Building needs to move into the future, and I don't think it should look like the past.
Too bad the majority of developers don't build houses like this in the US - I imagine a lot of people want exactly this kind of home
2 years and no update?
If you’d like to see updates on the home, you can check in with Everett on instagram @thehomesteadmodern
Yes and aside from being ugly and dark and at odds with the landscape - it’s just great.
Hah! Carbon neutral! Might as well cut a big hole in your roof
Using a boomlift as a crane?? That can’t be very legal can it?
A farmer who can make money on his farm? Wow, would like to know how he is paying for this - while raising sheep? Cool house - seems a little extreme!
I mean, I love the detailing for the passive house certification but that building isn’t really a house but more like three sheds lol. That architecture might be very utilitarian to achieve PH but aesthetically it’s horrible looking IMO. And I’d use Glavel rather than the environmentally destructive EPS.
Try solar heating, try floor heating,
Base on the title, I thought I was going to see you graving a tool , and getting your hands dirty bro.
Damn, right at carbon neutral.
You like all those bugs living and nesting in the open “air flow” spaces? Seems weird.
Your 175 your old farmhouse was not durable?
Now make this small... and affordable for a poor person.
No responce! Are you going to video the rest of the build?
We are a building supply company and we cover how different builders use materials during the process of construction. If you want to check in on how this project turned out, you can check out Everett Kramer's Instagram: @thehomesteadmodern
We lived a 100 year old house, that you couldnt drive a nail through. Sure it has some spaces here and there, for air to get through. But modern houses unless built from concrete are crap. You will be lucky to get 20 years on that house without it feeling like it has some major issues. The building materials of today are inferior to the materials of the past. You are better off building a post frame home
Not true, any maintained home can last 100s of years. If you live in areas with earthquakes then brick and concrete homes become to expensive
I didn't see anything "modest" or "small" here.
I mean the mighty truck besides the house could easily be garaged in that one building.
Great house. But...
These kind of videos always hide the cost of the build. Without the cost, there is no way for other people to know whether this is economically viable.
Mostly likely, i think it is not
Sustainable home built with glue and plastic products.
I feel like this is the quality people expect when paying 500k-1m. You just ain’t getting this in that price range. You’ll get a great home, energy star certified, but not this custom at all.
“Carbon neutral” as you use twice the amount of materials as a normal home. Double walls, with strapping everywhere. twice amount of insulation if not more, triple pain windows, lol- Love to see the cost of this house. It’s a great idea and awesome to try these things but unobtainable for 99% of people building homes, so this will 100% not be the house of the future. Unless the future is full of millionaires. Aside from that, it is a great build and idea, and would be great if this was economical.
150 grand plus in just framing! This definitely will cost over a million. Way over engineered. I could get the same spec for half the price using alternative materials. But nothing wrong with what he has done. He just went the expensive route. A lot better quality then most these RUclipsrs!
@Kids To home owners, all my building suppliers charge me pre Covid rates. It’s all in who you know!
@@Billybob-go8hn where are you building? I want to know you! Lol- I’m in Dallas area. You must have a few years on my in the business. That is big time.
Climate change is fake, it takes more faith and sacrifice than believing in God and Jesus .
I think the idea is to stop heating which causes global warming & also make the house liveable. It achieves this. Manufacturing should be done with renewable energy, so this should be carbon neutral soon
I shudder to think what this place costs to build. They didn't GRT here raising sheep. I mean, it's cool and all, and I think the construction theories are cutting edge. But you need to be rich to build this.
yea....no
Lol some rich kid gets a few sheep, calls himself a farmer, and builds a million dollar house so he can lift his pinky when he drinks and tell everyone about it. Whatever
I came here to see a build idea. Not an indoctrination of climate change. Just talk about the house.
Great song 🎶. Puts Beyoncé to shame
Ooh I am not impressed. All this future thinking but didn't think about all the stink, flies, crap from the animals in the barn. Got any progressive futuristic thought how to feal with those issues? Better live on a farm before dispelling just how great having your house attached to the barn.
Lost me at the climate garbage.
It's a pole barn house this guy is not smart
I love when climate crazies use concrete. I can't think of anything more hypocritical.
Farm house for the rich that takes 30 years to payback.
An ultra tight, extremely well insulated home will cost more… but not all that much more depending on design and build methods.
The ROI is MUCH sooner that you’d expect, especially if you are anticipating it to be a forever home. “The Build Show” has had MANY episodes showcasing builders keeping performance homes in similar price brackets to standard homes.
All that wealth you can live vegan.
