The large, cantilevered roofscape design is for rainwater collection, solar PV and thermal panel attachment and to provide for shading for the large pocket slider doors to the interior. Using pocket sliders allows for exterior barn door shutters for secured lock-up of the structure out of season, with tilt up, drawbridge style stairways. The large cantilever 5’- 12’ above grade discourages wildlife intrusion.
Every aspect in the Domo Vitae design caters to specific construction methodology using standard, off the shelf components. It is a design, which brings panel construction to better application, in cost, in effort, in construction duration.
