Whole House Green
This 1970 Split-Level Ranch home underwent a whole-house remodel in 2006. A Home Performance Audit was done to identify areas of focus to bring the home up to maximum energy efficiency and comfort. A 'Systems Approach' to the design and construction updated the homes HVAC, electrical, & plumbing systems, and focus was on healthy indoor air quality by using materials that do not off-gas toxins. Every choice, from de-construction to use of reclaimed, renewable, and sustainable materials, was made with the Principles of Sustainable Design and Building Green in mind. The result is a lovely home, expressive of the clients' spirit, designed and built to last their lifetime and beyond.

added by Amy Renea to These Split-Level Homes Get the Style Right
Whether you are trying to make a 1970s split level work for your style or are building your own home that needs to make the best use of small square footage, take cues from these designs. Play off the traditional geometric lines of split levels, balance the top heaviness of the design and open up the interior spaces for a fresh, new look.More:Make the Most of Your Home's Split PersonalityStep Up Your Split-Level HouseTour a Contemporary Split-Level in Chicago
