Koller House

Jury Comments

“The Koller House is a restorative sanctuary designed with sustainability and resilience at its core. Located in Madison, Mississippi, the home utilizes a geothermal heat pump for conditioning and is pre-wired for solar panels and battery backup, ensuring long-term adaptability. Native landscaping and a rainwater-fed potager (potashay) garden support daily nourishment and minimize environmental impact. Passive strategies such as natural ventilation, daylighting, and durable materials enhance comfort while reducing reliance on mechanical systems. Together, these elements reflect a thoughtful integration of environmental stewardship into the rhythms of everyday life.”
