Elk View is a community of 25 environmentally conscious mountain homes with long range views. An undercurrent of creativity is an ingrained part of the fabric of Asheville. Every house is designed with a goal of netzero-carbon emissions, and constructed with local, pre-fabricated and low-embodiedcarbon materials. The homes are guided by Passive House design principles, like airtight insulation, to increase indoor air quality and decrease energy bills. Each will feature all-electric building operations, and will be built from local resources with local craft. From a design standpoint, each home is a singular work of architecture with a special identity that responds to the specific contours of its surrounding landscape. The interiors are designed with crisp, muted tones to balance with the striking nature just outside. Homes are complete with handmade finishes, locally sourced white oak floors, and multi-use spaces to create an escape within an already meditative landscape.
