334 Emma Rd – Refined Net-Zero Living with Open Design

This WNC Green Built Platinum and Net-Zero Certified home builds upon the proven design at 290 Emma Rd, introducing a more open interior floor plan that enhances the connection between the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The result is a layout that feels brighter, more spacious, and perfectly aligned with the flow of modern living.

Drawing from lessons learned in the earlier design, this home incorporates refinements that make it even more efficient and effective, from advanced building envelope details to optimized solar integration. Outfitted with Energy Star appliances and certified triple-pane windows, the home delivers year-round comfort while keeping energy demand to a minimum.

Like its predecessor, it stays under 1,150 square feet, yet the thoughtful design maximizes every inch, and the full unfinished basement offers additional flexibility for storage or future expansion.

This home reflects the ongoing evolution of Nicholson and Sun’s approach to performance, craftsmanship, and design, demonstrating how each build advances the standard for sustainable living in Asheville.
