Nestled in the foothills above Boulder, Colorado the home at 24 Ridge View is the first of 30 homes planned for the net-zero community of Caribou Ridge.  The home was designed by Brian C. Weber as a net-zero prototype intended to set the standard for the remaining development by demonstrating through built-form, the client’s aspirations for the community. Cutting edge sustainable building materials, renewable energy efficient systems, and conveniences of contemporary lifestyle are integrated into an architecture that celebrates its connection to the Rocky Mountains.  The home received certification by the National Association of Home Builders Green Building Standard and recieved the 2009 Colorado Sustainable Design Award.
