Situated at the end of a gently winding drive, this 3,500 sq. ft. residence recalls the designs of Frank Lloyd Wright, which emphasized horizontal roof lines and decorative masonry bands. The home displays a classic solar-design layout with two-story living room located on the south side, flanked by other living spaces. Properly designed roof overhangs ensure that these spaces are bright and cheerful all year long, yet sunshaded in summer.

The owners of this new 9,000 sq. ft. residence desired a modern, energy-efficient, country home with low-maintenance materials. Watrous Associates created a design in the classic tradition of the 1930s Modern Movement while incorporating the latest super-insulated, passive-solar techniques. The design features a two-story sunspace/aviary, containing trees, waterfalls, and a fish pond.

This energy-efficient 3,000 sq. ft. residence is located on the edge of the Ohio River in southern Indiana. The first floor is elevated above the 100-year floodplain on a 14-foot concrete wall designed to withstand the impact of logs during flood season. The home's observation windows and decks allow the owners to share in the changing panorama of the mighty river at their feet.

With the assistance of Watrous Associates Architects, members of the Eco-Village group are in the process of purchasing a 70 acre site, located 20 minutes from downtown Louisville. This will be a planned solar community and is part of the CoHousing Movement now becoming popular in the USA. The Eco-Village will consist of 20 houses on individually owned lots, placed along shared walkways leading to a central Common House.
