With a nod to timeless Bauhaus design, wood, concrete, steel, and glass come together on Bluewater Hill to create a modern masterpiece. Utilizing state-of-the-art materials and eco-friendly construction inside and out, Xanadu is a living and breathing work of art that can also withstand hurricane-force winds. Built with the utmost respect for the planet, the living green roofs, solar panels, and Venetian plaster finishes used throughout are just some of the touches that elevate this home to an environmentally conscious category few luxury homes can aspire to.

Living Roof
A Green Roof or Living Roof utilizes vegetation to cover some or all of the roof’s surface. In addition to being a beautiful, natural alternative to conventional roofing techniques, a living roof provides a variety of lifestyle, financial, and ecological benefits. A living roof can reduce both heating and cooling costs, manage rainwater runoff, and provide additional sound insulation. In addition, living roofs generally extend the life of a roof by 200-300%, and are often cheaper to repair. Ecologically, living roofs can attract beneficial insects, birds, bees and butterflies, filter pollutants from the water and air, and even sequester carbon dioxide. The U.S. Department of Energy found that implementing green roofs resulted in a 2 percent reduction in electricity consumption and 9-11% reduction in natural gas usage.
Solar
In keeping with its environmentally conscious design, 11 Bluewater boasts a robust solar array. Sunlight Solar Energy, Inc. installed 29 Sun Power 250-watt solar panels that collectively generate an estimated 9,000 kWh of electricity per year. This exceeds the approximate 8,500 kWh usage of the average CT home. While nothing about 11 Bluewater Hill is average, including its energy needs, the solar panels have effectively reduced the residence’s reliance on commercial power by more than 40%.
