Utilizing trombe walls with much success in Cincinnati

ChuckLohreBoulter House, Coveted Sustainability, Ecohouse, Suntuitive, Zumwalt Residence

Hi Chuck,

I’ve just moved out into an early 1900’s home in Mt Auburn and need to replace a bathroom with window. I’m curious if you have any experience with or knowledge of folks utilizing trombe walls with much success in Cincinnati’s relatively cloudy climate.

Thanks,
Peter Moorhouse

Hi Peter,

The best example of a trombe wall in Cincinnati, I’ve found, is the Zumwalt Residence.

A local green advocate/educator presents his curated collection of everyday goods representing the conscience intersection of aesthetics, craft and engineering.

What is art? This question has long challenged philosophers and artists. Art in the invariable march of history is given significance and meaning through emotional reaction, through connection and through intention with the audience. Art is therefore relational. One must relate to the artist, the piece and the story behind it. This is what has sustained art throughout the ages.
