Vanca Residence

Green Building and Design - Vanca

This home was designed by Silverwood for homeowners who value the outdoors and have a passion for design. Inside, the main rooms flow into one another, with details inspired by the homeowners’ vision: a built-in nook between the kitchen and dining area to invite lingering, glass block in the stairwell of the main foyer, and the emphasis on simplicity and stone in the powder room. A large exercise room including an endless pool has views overlooking the extensive decks and landscaping in the private back yard. This  home is located in the Bingham Ridge solar development, and produces power for Progress Energy through photovoltaic panels on the roof.
