We toured our sustainable design home at 1020 Kent Street a few days ago. The more visible sustainable and energy efficient elements are now being installed as the home is completed. We were there as the light fixtures went up and the carpet went down. Here are some photos from our visit:
Here's a view through the back door into the house. Bedrooms to the left, kitchen and living room to the right. You can see through to the front door. The concrete stained floors look great, although they are covered with paper to protect them as construction is completed.

We are nearing completion of our sustainable design house at 1020 Kent Street in Durham, NC. This home has really challenged us to think about how we create energy efficient, affordable homes.

energy efficient: Barrington Village - Raleigh, NC - 06/06/08 10:29 AM
The Wall Street Journal Online has a piece today about Raleigh's Barrington Village and its developer, Builders of Hope. This neighborhood is one of the smartest uses of human and social capital and environmental responsibility I've ever seen. The idea is beautiful in its simplicity:
Instead of knocking down old homes to make way for new ones, homeowners donate the homes to Builders of Hope. Builders of Hope moves the house free of charge. The owner keeps a demolished home out of the landfill, gets a tax deduction, and avoids the evil eye of neighbors for tearing down the home. … (0 comments)

energy efficient: Durham Community Land Trustees - 05/06/08 09:54 AM
Durham Community Land Trustees
One of our favorite clients is the Durham Community Land Trustees (DCLT). For the past twenty years, they have been building homes that are affordable to the majority of Durham residents. That's no small feat, given that their target area is neighborhoods near Duke University, where real estate prices have increased faster than prices in other areas of Durham. I think it's worth it to revisit why the land trust model has a place in our market, especially given the number of first time home buyers that are now losing their homes in this tough real estate … (0 comments)
