408 Three Oaks Drive
Located on the northwest side of Carleton’s Lilac Hill community, Birch House is named for the birch tree, a native plant in the very Arb that the house overlooks. A draw house for student residents, Birch has two distinct sides that are each split into an upper and lower unit, divided between individual rooms and a group draw space.
Built to passive house standards, Birch and its Lilac Hill neighbors are designed to use 69 percent less energy annually than similar buildings built to meet current energy code standards — they even have rooftop solar panels, which generate enough electricity for each house to reach net zero energy usage!
