Moisture Management
The coast rewards homes that can drain, dry, and dehumidify.
For a coastal homeowner, the problem is not abstract wall science; it is finding rot or hidden damage behind cladding years after move-in. Moisture design starts before that risk is built in.
Core ideas
Core principles that shape our work.
Drainage Planes
Walls and openings are detailed to shed and drain water before it becomes damage.
Drying Potential
Assemblies are selected for the direction and speed at which they can dry.
Dehumidification
Comfort and durability depend on humidity control, not temperature alone.
Inspection Access
Critical systems and assemblies should be maintainable over the life of the home.
