MV YOGA BARN

Our building is as yogic as we could make it. We salvaged as much as possible of the Vermont dairy barn that it was and then rebuilt it here on Martha's Vineyard with recycled plastic shingles on the roof, sustainably harvested cedar side walling, plaster walls painted with low-no VOC paints and bamboo flooring throughout. Appliances are all of the highest efficiency available, even the variable speed well water pump. We have a radiant-heat system and the antique frame is surrounded by one of the tightest modern building envelopes on Martha's Vineyard plus super-insulation of over R-50 in the roof and over R-40 in the exterior walls. Even the low-e coating on the glass makes the insulated-glass casement windows more efficient at heat absorption in winter and deflection in summer. We glass in our porch in winter to take advantage of the passive solar gain to that southeast facing end of the Yoga Barn...
