NEW JERSEY HOME & GARDEN Passion Project DEVOTED TO DOING THEIR PART TO PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT, THIS HUNTERDON COUNTY COUPLE TAKES GREAT CARE TO METICULOUSLY BUILD A SUSTAINABLE HOME. By Lauren Payne Photographs by LAURA MOSS 78 SEPTEMBER <strong>2022</strong> NJMONTHLY.COM
NEW JERSEY HOME & GARDEN Farm Life The DeSalvos new home generates its own energy from 72 southfacing solar panels. The couple does their part to preserve and revitalize their 43 acres; they’ve planted 10 acres of grain to mill their own flour. Deborah and Jason DeSalvo are passionate about the environment and their personal impact on it.

Ever respectful of the rich history of their locale, the pair wanted a traditional farmhouse that would look appropriate to the area. Beneath that façade, they wanted it to be packed with features to help protect the environment. “The house doesn’t look like a freak show,” says Jason. “It looks like a farmhouse.” With their lengthy must-have list in hand (“Multiple pages,” says Deborah; “seven to ten pages,” adds Jason), the DeSalvos approached architect Bill Kaufman, principal at WESKetch Architecture and Construction in Millington, and challenged him to join their project. On that long list: The house had to generate its own energy, so solar panels and a geothermal heating/cooling system were key.
