OVERVIEW.
Marin Passive House is a contemporary family home designed around comfort, efficiency, and quiet simplicity. Built for owners who value clean air, stable indoor temperatures, and a calm, uncluttered lifestyle, the project blends modern architecture with a performance-first approach. Set within a coastal-suburban setting, it demonstrates how sustainability can feel effortless without sacrificing warmth or character.
The design is shaped by a clear principle: a compact, well-oriented form that reduces energy loss while maximizing daylight. Carefully positioned openings frame views and bring soft natural light into the main living spaces, while controlled ventilation supports healthy airflow throughout the home. Deep reveals, shaded edges, and a refined envelope strategy help the house stay bright and comfortable without overheating.
Materials are selected for both performance and tactility. High-quality insulation, airtight detailing, and durable window systems form the technical backbone, while warm timber finishes, textured plaster, and subtle stone accents create a welcoming interior. Built-in storage and integrated furniture keep rooms visually clean, allowing the architecture and light to define the atmosphere rather than excess decoration.
