Central Park was designed by Remake Architecture in collaboration with two generations of family members, for the purpose of providing the homeowner’s mother with an independent, healthy home to age in place. The Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) has cathedral ceilings, double-height living space, bedroom, full bathroom and laundry to create a fully self-sufficient ground floor. This is complimented by an upstairs guest suite for grandchildren, friends, or relatives, with a bedroom and full bathroom.

The building has an efficient footprint to maximize the available back yard and is built from Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs) to create an airtight, well insulated building envelope. This is paired with an extremely efficient space heating & cooling system (ductless mini-split air source heat pump) and an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) to provide continuous fresh air. It has a 400% efficient air source heat pump water heater, induction cooking, and is an all-electric home.
