Welcome to the SURE HOUSE
Here at the SURE HOUSE we’ve focused on dramatically reducing energy consumption by 90% than the average New Jersey home (SUstainable) while also implementing marine construction methods to protect us against the next 100 year storm (REsilient).
Core Living Space
Our 1,000 square foot interior space offers light finishes to maximize daylighting and large sliding glass doors to make a seamless connection with our outdoor terrace.
Living Room
The living room serves as a flexible lounging area with birch casework housing our entertainment center and additional storage.
Bathroom
The bathroom uniquely allows entrance from both the interior and exterior of the home. This enables shore residents a clean entry when returning from the beach.
Department of Energy Visit
At the start of the competition we had the honor of showing of our home and engineering innovations to Secretary of Energy Dr. Ernest Moniz.
Public Tours
The exhibition is underway and we’ve had thousands of visitors to the SURE HOUSE with thousands more expected here at the Orange County Great Park in Irvine, CA.
Juried Contests
In the 10 decathlon contests there are 5 juried events: architecture, engineering, market appeal, communications and affordability.
Measured Contests
In addition to the 5 juried contests there are also 5 measured contests. These include appliance use, cooking, cooling and commuting.
