The home which was rated five-star by the City of Austin Green Building Program in 2005 and was the winner of the 2008 Max Award for "Best Green Home" by the Home Builders Association of Greater Austin. And excitingly, as of 2013 the house is now a Net-Zero Home.

The Design Concept of the home, which was suggested by the challenging site is that of an old English Manor that has been added onto over time. The design has four distinct structures that are planned phased additions over the next several years. The timeless architecture adds comfort and warmth to an already spectacular site.

The home was featured on the 2014 Cool House Tour, it was in the Nov/Dec 2008 Natural Home Magazine, won the 2008 Austin HBA Max Award for Best Green Home, and in a Book - Dreaming Green: Eco-Fabulous Homes
