Project Details:
Built in 2008.
Located in Cougar Gulch, Coeur d’Alene ID
Designed by Momentum Architecture, 3,578 sq. ft. of living space.
The home exterior finish is Dryvit, which has the appearance of stucco but is actually an elastomeric finish (Stretchable & flexible) a very common product used on commercial buildings. As an exterior finish, the Dryvit and stone are going to last much longer than any conventional exterior finishes of wood or vinyl.
After a year of living in their new home the owners were very pleased with the low cost of their electrical-heating bill. The reason for the low costs is that the heating system consists of 2 high efficiency heat pumps with 3 zones. The result is great savings in energy costs. Of the many upgrades that one can choose when building a home I recommend a heating system that uses the heat pump technology.

Mountain Haven Custom Homes, started in 1998 by Dennis Ployhar who, prefers working hands-on in every project building only a certain amount of homes each year. The company is concentrated on residential construction pro-jects that would be individual and unique. The projects are built using a regular team of small business owners and workers whereby we are value driven versus volume driven.
