Certified building designer and show exhibitor Will Thomas of Will Thomas Designs is known for older home design services and his seamless additions that look like they are original to the home. At the Seattle Home & Garden Show, he is introducing a new design service to help homeowners deal with weather extremes: the Cool Room Concept. Emphasizing low-cost ways on how to deal more effectively with extreme weather, the Cool Room Concept focuses on everything from insulation and passive heating/cooling (such as adding porch overhangs), to transforming basements – often the part of the home least affected by temperature outside - into living spaces that can comfortable handle extreme hot or cold weather.
The Cool Room Concept can be successively applied to almost any home - each according to the existing configuration of the structure. Sometimes the concept works better as part of a larger addition/remodel project, sometimes it works fine with an existing house layout, with very minor changes inside.
