Green Alternatives

These RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS reflect a wide variety of unique aspects of design and construction. What is your interest?

Vastu Residence: This project utilized the art of Vastu Shastra, a design paradigm developed in ancient India.

Restoration and Victorian Design: Renovation of a residence originally built in the 1880's, then we added a 3 story addition. This unique project is highlighted by interesting owner inspired themes.

Affordable Housing: This cost effective home was constructed on a minimal budget of $120/SF in 2005, yet retains a high level of design.

Straw Clay Hybrid: A residence constructed of straw-clay exterior walls and a clay cobb finish coat. A timber frame was utilized for the primary structure, the straw-clay was an insulating in-fill material.

Prairie Style: This design relied on prairie style elements as well as Japanese hand crafted shoji screens, to create charm and elegance.

Alternative Technology: I have designed several projects with Faswall, an ecological concrete and wood chip wall form (link). This 'green' alternative has interesting characteristics for the right project.  I also strive for energy efficient designs with renewable resources.
