In this launch of our Passive House Series, architectural designer Michael Cockram walks us through the vision and process behind Arkansas’s first certified Passive House—the Magnolia House. Built on a tandem lot in his former backyard, Michael’s project showcases the power of high-performance design, strong collaboration, and ecological mindfulness. It’s an inspiring start to a series focused on how we can build smarter, healthier homes.
