The Cannon Beach Residence is located along the northern Oregon coast, with excellent orientation to the south for daylighting and views of the ocean.

The home was designed to generate as much energy as it consumes annually. Strategies that contribute to the project's efficiency include natural ventilation and daylighting, a high-performance envelope, and a solar-assisted heating system tied to a ground-source heat pump. A grid-tied five-kilowatt photovoltaic system produces electricity on site.

Would very much liked to have seen some interior photos; the single exterior shows a beautiful place.
