House Project
This document summarizes details about a traditional thatched roof house from 1840s Ireland. The house was located in County Limerick, Munster Province. It was constructed from stone and mud walls with a thatched roof made of bundled straw or reed, about 2 feet in diameter. The thatched roof provided insulation and lasted over 15 years with periodic reridging. The house had an earthen floor, a central fireplace with no chimney, and two rooms - one for sleeping and one for cooking and socializing. It required carrying water and had small, shuttered windows for insulation against the mild Irish climate.

Adam Style Home
- 1. Adam Style Home Stroble Building Company Wednesday, March 11, 2009
- 2. Adam Style Home This traditional Adam style home was built in an L shape in order to fit on the lot ❖ surrounding one of Northville’s oldest oak trees. It was important to the homeowner to maintain the integrity of the tree and build an environmentally conscious home. The driveway around the tree was built out of permeable brick pavers to allow water to seep down to the tree’s root system. The belvedere windows on top of the house allow light to shine down to the interior 2nd floor rooms and the 1st floor kitchen. The octagon kitchen was designed to be the center of the home with easy access to the family and dining rooms. It provides encompassing views out of the great room windows, rear sliding doors, the foyer and front door. A Geo Thermal System heats and cools the house using well water in an open loop system. The open loop allows the water to seep back into the ground and replenish the well. The well is also used for irrigation to help conserve the use of water. The homes insulation is made of recycled newspaper called Cellulose insulation. Cellulose insulation was used in the walls and ceilings. Icynene foam insulation was used to seal up the bonds. The exterior of the home is mainly brick with fiber cement siding. All the entries into the house are covered and the roof overhangs are all oversized to help control the inside temperature of the home. Wednesday, March 11, 2009
