73 Clockwise from far left: The Batsons commissioned R Mended Metals to create schools of fish for their home’s main entrance enhanced by a wave wall fabricated by Bluewater Surfaces. Their master suite occupies the entire third floor. The stairway to heaven gallery features an eclectic collection of framed artwork. Traditional, upholstered furnishings and carpets surround the modern fireplace. Beyond the décor, the home is as energy efficient as the builder home-owner could implement. In addition to the thermally broken commercial glazing system in which inner and outer frames are separated to prevent temperature transfer and condensa-tion, the floor, roof and walls are sealed with closed cell foam insula-tion. A tankless water heating system, a multi-stage HVAC system, a Smart Energy electrical management system and a system that regulates lighting help maintain a $200 per month power bill for the 4,000 square-foot house. www.wrightsvillebeachmagazine.com WBM
