Newphire Building is a progressive, high performance home builder based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. We are one of only a handful of Certified Passive House Builders in the state of North Carolina. The inspiration for the name "Newphire" came from reading the book, Revinventing Fire, by Amory Lovins and the Rocky Mountain Institute.
At Newphire Building, we're passionate about building high-performance, ultra energy efficient homes that meet stringent certification standards. How can we help you build your dream home while also making a bold statement against the unsustainable use of fossil fuels? Air Tight Construction- The PHIUS requirement for air tightness is over ten times more stringent than the new, "more rigorous" International Code.
While there are many ways to go about building a custom home, the system that we propose here is a collaborative approach, with all of the significant parties (client, architect and builder) involved from the outset. Location, location, location. That is usually the first driver in decisions to purchase a lot.
Kevin was born in Englewood, New Jersey and spent a couple of important years in San Rafael, California, but was primarily raised in Great Falls, Virginia. Kevin and his friends shared the duties of procurement, site selection, design and construction. They built a two story fort with a rooftop porch that they defended vigorously from marauding competitors.
The "Happy Meadows" Courtyard House, designed by Arielle Schechter, is a labor of love between the clients, architect and builder. The project represents a shared vision for what we consider to be the apex of housing. It combines the application of the most up-to-date energy modeling and building science with an artful, modern aesthetic.
