The tucked away mudroom is just off of the garage, which means your shoes are always in one spot. The nook has room for shoes, backpacks and bags without requiring a separate room. What the homeowners love: Huge energy savings from the solar & energy saving build process Super quiet interior rooms (from the insulated interior walls) Large windows placed for optimal sunlight and privacy from the neighbors Smart home system that's part of the house Credit: Brendan Kahm
