Right Sized & Net Zero in Harmony

Harmony’s New Tustin Plan From $339,900


A Right Sized Home in the Right Community with the Right Energy Solution Priced from $349,900

Over the course of the last year Canin Associates teamed up with Harmony Florida and LifeStyle Homes in a collaborative effort to design and build a new home in Harmony, on existing infill lots. This isn’t just any conventional home; it had to live up to Harmony’s green building standards. We also needed to showcase new trends in home design for “Right Sized” living. and still that wasn’t enough. The project team joined up with LifeStyle Homes and the expertise of the Florida Solar Energy Center. The result is a Net Zero energy house that Shad Tome, president of Harmony Development, proclaims is “the best fit ever for Harmony”. Combining quality living spaces and superior energy management,  Harmony’s Tustin House will serve as a demonstration for the community and its builders and homeowners who want to take their lifestyle efficiencies to new levels.

The home boasts generous living spaces that are intended for everyday use – no wasted space. Comfortable porches, 4 bedrooms, a flexible office and lots of storage that takes advantage of every square foot. The home features extensive use of natural light with lots of  Lo-E energy efficient windows. The Canin home design did not have to be retrofitted to achieve the net zero result. This project has proven that a production house can reach a targeted market segment, hit an anticipated price point, and still achieve net zero energy consumption for the homeowner. On an annual basis the home’s energy use and the resulting energy bill are basically a wash.
