2011 EcoHome Design Award Winner

Key to the successful design were the homeowner priorities of family health, energy performance, and optimizing the walk-to-town construction site. To maintain health and air quality, the home features a fresh air ventilation system with energy recovery, a whole house HEPA filtration system, radiant & radiator heating distribution, and low/no VOC materials. The home’s energy performance focuses on passive heating/cooling techniques, natural daylighting, an improved building envelope, and efficient mechanical systems, collectively achieving overall energy performance of 50% better than code. To address the site opportunities, the home utilizes a footprint that maximizes southern exposure in the rear while still capturing the park view in the front.

Can you tell me where I can find the linen pendants in the kitchen? »

Becky Harris I believe these were custom made in Belgian linen. The interior designer, Lisa Kauffman Tharp, has a blog that may have more information: http://www.concordgreen.blogspot.com/ or be able to provide buying services for you. I know she sourced a number of things through Hudson Boston: http://www.hudson-boston.com/ and also you might want to try South of Market http://southofmarket.biz/ for this kind of look.

picpics I believe it's a custom panel Sub-Zero fridge, though it's hard to say the exact model with the paneling.

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design Hi blakepaige.

picpics is correct. Both refrigerators (the design is symmetrical) are Sub-Zero, with freezer drawers below. They are 6 years old, and were reclaimed from a nearby remodeling project. My recollection is that the model is 700TC.

Hope this helps.

Lisa

adrianagores Very similar but they don't seem to come in white!

Lisa K. Tharp - K. Tharp Design These counter stools are from a favorite line of mine, called Bradshaw Kirchofer. Their pieces are solid wood with a variety of hand-rubbed finishes, both paint and stain. These are painted in Cream. Various retailers online carry their line. www.bradshawkirchofer.com.

Thanks for your interest.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Another kitchen blessing and a challenge: Kauffman Tharp had come into possession of some reclaimed high-end appliances and cabinets from a nearby remodel. In order to give the kitchen a unified look, they painted everything a creamy white, added marine-style polished nickel hardware, and added heart-pine countertops. While the heart pine counters lend a farmhouse feel, the island's counter is a more contemporary concrete surface. The island is 10 feet long and incorporates a Shaw's Original Farmhouse sink, repurposed cabinets, and a pair of Miele dishwashers on one side, as well as seating on the other side.
In this eco-friendly Massachusetts home, interior designer Lisa Kauffman Tharp installed several pieces of bold lighting in the kitchen. The pendants over the island are gorgeous — but what really caught our eye were the two-armed wall lights over the top cabinets. Instead of installing recessed lighting underneath the cabinetry, Tharp decided to give the kitchen a lofty, almost art-gallery like look.
added by Rebekah Zaveloff to Double Take: Unexpected Kitchen Lights
Fabric: These oversized pendants add a natural, earthy, and feminine feel to this kitchen. Whether these are linen or burlap, it doesn't matter — they're wonderful. I wasn't surprised to find out these pendants were custom made. (Though my first thought was, "Are these new from Restoration Hardware?") Sometimes it's worth going custom so that you can have something no one else has. See more of this house.Tip: Consider Scotchguarding your fabric pendants and dust them regularly to avoid that dust/grease combo that's so prevalent in a kitchen's hard-to-reach spots.
added by Cathy Lara to Nontoxic Paint 101
In this kitchen remodel, interior designer Lisa Kauffman Tharp used Mythic nontoxic paint for the kitchen cabinets, a brand that boasts of ultralow odor and premium paint quality, durability and coverage — without the off-gassing. It's a smart choice for a space that needs to be used and lived in during the painting.Houzz user elainelan asked the Houzz community if it's all right to repaint her apartment with nontoxic or low-VOC brands while pregnant — and it's really best to err on the side of caution. Writer Becky Harris said it best: You're better off asking your OB.Brands: Benjamin Moore Aura, Miller Acro Pure, OikosMore:6 Ecofriendly Projects10 Great Picks for Ecofriendly Tile

No- and low-VOC finishes. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical fumes emitted from some materials. For improved indoor air quality, select finishes labeled "no-VOC" or "low-VOC." Water-based products — with naturally fewer VOCs — are best for a safe and durable cabinet finish. The quality of water-based finishes has improved in recent years as the demand for safer alternatives has increased. For added confidence of product safety, you can seek certifications from Green Seal or GreenGuard — two industry-independent organizations that give their seal of approval to building products with low chemical emissions. This airy and light-filled kitchen used no- and low-VOC finishes as part of a whole-house approach to sustainability.
Oversize Pendant LightsLike color, size scares a lot of people. But there is no reason overhead pendant lamps have to be teeny tiny (except maybe very low ceilings). Going oversize makes a huge impact and can really liven up an otherwise plain room.

Formaldehyde-free alternatives. Cabinets, and particularly their interior boxes, are commonly constructed of particleboard, fiberboard or plywood — all of which are often made with added urea formaldehyde binders or glues, which release fumes. Formaldehyde is a known carcinogen. A recent U.S. Congress bill requires that formadehyde emissions in these substrates be reduced to safer levels by 2013. Until then, err on the safe side with formaldehyde-free and low-VOC alternatives, including FSC-certified plywood, bamboo plywood and agrifiber boards, which make smart use of agricultural by-products, an annually renewable resource. Formaldehyde-free cabinets can be stylish, as this kitchen demonstrates.
