Improvements of indoor living environment

The Montrose House
The Montrose house is a traditional model home enriched with new features that provide a comfortable and healthy indoor environment  The building design presents a new solution with the addition of skylights, maximizing natural light and ventilation.
 
Plenty of natural light creates open and inviting living spaces in a home. 
Daylight and Fresh Air
Today we spend 90% of our time indoors in artificially created environments with artificial lighting, ventilation, heating and cooling. These systems which separate us from the natural environment and create poor air quality, inadequate levels of daylight, thermal discomfort etc. can contribute to increasing health problems such as asthma and allergies. 
To improve the general well-being of families and living conditions, we strive to incorporate abundant natural light, fresh air ventilation, and reduced energy requirements in new home designs. 
 
Natural light contributes new qualities to traditional homes. Optimal daylight conditions provide a balanced, well-lit, healthy space with a indoor climate that positively affects the homeowners and their families.
