Above: Light is vital for this new, net-zero home, designed and built by Ben Southworth of Garland Mill Timberframes in Lancaster. The home’s siting provides day lighting and passive heat solar gain. Notably, the old homestead was sited with similar intent. Left: Just two easy steps and you’re in. Universal design welcomes everyone from small children on up. Universal design concepts are featured throughout the house, from the wide doorways to the accessible bath and bedroom on the first floor. 58 | New Hampshire Home
