A newly built house project near the Qinling Mountains in Shangluo City, China. The total area of the project is about 500 square meters. The main products we provide are fixed windows and sliding doors. The villa, located in a mountainous region, has exceptionally high demands for the windproof and waterproof performance of doors and windows. We custom-made 100-series fixed windows and 90-series sliding windows for the client. The windows and doors are not just a necessary element for the construction, but also play a crucial role in enhancing its appearance and functionality. The carefully designed windows and doors, with their sleek and modern design, add a touch of elegance to the villa, reflecting the client’s taste and style. More importantly, the high-performance windows and doors we provided are specifically designed to withstand the extreme weather conditions in the mountainous region. The strong and sturdy construction of the windows ensures they can resist strong winds, while the waterproof seals prevent any moisture from seeping in, protecting the interior of the villa from the elements. Furthermore, the energy-efficient design of the windows and doors significantly reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, helping to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature in all seasons. This not only enhances the living experience of the occupants but also contributes to reducing energy consumption, resulting in a more environmentally friendly villa. With their adaptability to the local environment and high performance capabilities, the windows and doors of this villa project are a testament to our commitment to providing high-quality solutions that meet the unique needs of each client. The final result is a villa that not only stands out for its beauty but also for its functionality, efficiency, and sustainability.

Blau-Thompson Residence This Civil War era, 1680-square-foot three-story row house is located in the Italian Market section of Philadelphia. The BluPath Design principals and their young child were the clients. The project goal was to upgrade a traditional housing type to meet a contemporary lifestyle, applying both sustainable criteria and clean, modern yet sensual aesthetics. The challenge of the property (only 830 square feet in lot size) was to create a design that was small, but smart. The structure formerly housed a luncheonette with two apartments above. The interior was gutted and renovated into a single family home. The construction of a small rear addition added a new kitchen on the first floor and new bathrooms on the second and third levels. The east-west orientation of the home was ideal for the roof-mounted solar collectors, which were installed to provide domestic hot water and supplement the new radiant floor heating system. Exterior sensors improve the efficiency of the heating system's response to fluctuations in outside temperature. A new white-coated, rubber membrane roof reduced the structure's heat gain by 20 percent. A water catch system collects rainwater and air conditioner condensation to water the home's small rear garden. Large windows and skylights bring light deep into the row house and reduce the use of light fixtures. The rear yard garden features ipe decking (a dense, water-repellent hardwood) on permeable compacted gravel to minimize storm water runoff. BluPath Design’s principals used the project to demonstrate how sustainability can be integrated with beauty and function, with sensual materials and colors, well-proportioned and light-filled rooms, economic use of space, and thoughtful details. Cherry flooring and custom stairs complement the Indian slate tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features custom walnut cabinets with blue granite counters and backsplashes. The first floor dining area is illuminated by a BluPath-designed fiber-optic chandelier. Ipe hardwood is also used for the master bath tub-surround and shower floor. Sliding frosted glass panels separating the master bath from other living areas allows light from the corner windows to naturally illuminate the adjacent room.

Green Home Systems recently completed a 10.89 kW solar panel installation project on Tullamore Ln in Ames, IA for their client Bradly R. Our team of experienced professionals went above and beyond to ensure that this project was completed on time and to our client's satisfaction. We are proud to share the success story of this project with all of our current and future clients! At Green Home Systems, we understand that making the transition to solar energy can be an intimidating process, which is why we strive to provide all of our clients with the best possible service. We offer competitive financing options for those looking to go solar, as well as our BBB accreditation which speaks volumes about our commitment to providing quality service. Additionally, we take the time to inspect all areas before beginning a project, ensuring that each job is done safely and securely. For this particular project, we worked with Bradly R., who wanted to make the switch from traditional electricity sources to a more eco-friendly option while also reducing his utility bill in the process. We chose sloped roof racking systems due to the unique terrain of the area and worked diligently over a couple months to complete the installation. By utilizing state-of-the-art equipment and highly trained technicians dedicated to completing each job efficiently, we were able to finish this project on time without compromising quality or safety standards. The results of our work speak for themselves! Not only did Bradly R.’s electricity bill decrease significantly after installing solar panels with us, he also saw an increase in his property value due to the upgrades made with energy efficient materials. Additionally, he was able to do his part for the environment by reducing his carbon footprint significantly by switching from traditional energy sources to solar energy. We are so thankful that Bradly R. chose Green Home Systems for this project and would like thank him for recommending us! He found us through an online search and was impressed with our craftsmanship and ability to complete projects on time. We are proud that our hard work has paid off and look forward continuing to provide top notch quality service in Sherman Oaks and beyond!

The great room is open to the kitchen and dining alcove. Outside is a large waterfront veranda - when a tent and heat are added, the room is enlarged and expanded for year round parties and dancing. A feeling of waves is reflected in the velvet chair cushions, which tie the color scheme together. Chair bodies are brown leather accented with nail heads. Contemporary lines are softened by moldings that have a classic feel to them, as does the blown glass chandelier over the dining alcove. Glass kitchen cabinets continue the open feel of the space. Minimal window treatments were added for warmth and softness.

Elegant and energy efficient. This bathroom was part of a Net Zero Ready home that we recently built. Net Zero homes produce as much energy as they consume and are 80% more efficient than current homes built to code. To help reduce energy consumption in this bathroom, we installed low flow fixtures, LED lights in the mirrors and an ERV (energy recovery ventilator). Because less energy is required to lower the temperature of dry air compared to moist air, an ERV can reduce the work your air conditioner needs to do and save you money. It also brings in fresh air flow and help with humidity levels, improving overall health and air quality. Another great feature of this bathroom is the shower which has a large clear glass window. This allows for direct sunlight from the window to access the shower, while the patterned glass on the bathroom/vanity side still provides a level of privacy for the user. We’re certain that these clients will be enjoying many sunny mornings in this oasis.

Interior Rehab/Renovation and Rear addition for a Multi-unit residential building in the historic Little Italy neighborhood. We converted this vintage 2 flat into a lovely private residence for the owners duplexing the 1st & 2nd floors. We also designed a separate "In-Law" unit at the gardel level for rentals. We also added a "living" Green roof which increased thermal efficiency and reduced energy costs for the owners. Probably the 1st and only Green roof in the Little Italy neighborhood for a private residence. Overall a very positive and sustainable renovation adding tons of Value for the client and great for the environment.

The "Corner Villa" design principles are meticulously crafted to create communal spaces for celebrations and gatherings while catering to the owner's need for private sanctuaries and privacy. One unique feature of the villa is the courtyard at the back of the building, separated from the main facade and parking area. This placement ensures that the courtyard and private areas of the villa remain secluded and at the center of the structure. In addition, the desire for a peaceful space away from the main reception and party hall led to more secluded private spaces and bedrooms on a single floor. These spaces are connected by a deep balcony, allowing for different activities to take place simultaneously, making the villa more energy-efficient during periods of lower occupancy and contributing to reduced energy consumption. The villa's shape features broken lines and geometric lozenges that create corners. This design not only allows for expansive balconies but also provides captivating views. The broken lines also serve the purpose of shading areas that receive intense sunlight, ensuring thermal comfort. Addressing the client's crucial need for a serene and tranquil space detached from the main reception and party hall led to the creation of more secluded private spaces and bedrooms on a single floor due to building restrictions. A deep balcony was introduced as a connecting point between these spaces. This arrangement enables various activities, such as parties and relaxation, to occur simultaneously, contributing to energy-efficient practices during periods of lower occupancy, thus aiding in reduced energy consumption.

If you dreamed of living in rural Italy, you don’t have to go further than Villa de Palma. This 4,863 square-foot rustic Tuscan home is both beautiful and energy efficient. A beautiful stone entry introduces this unique home that features vaulted ceilings, locally handmade front door and a fully finished basement. From the tropical solarium housing an exercise pool to rustic trim work and beautiful slate tile, no detail was overlooked. The one-of-a-kind distinctive details include two fireplaces, barn door, alder cabinetry, arched doorways and rustic wood exterior accents. The luxurious interior features earth tone colors throughout that make you feel at home. The home was specifically designed to fit into the challenging hillside lot; situated to take advantage of the sensational views of the mountains to the West while still using passive solar to regulate the home’s temperature. The renewable energy systems include a 10 kW photovoltaic system and a solar thermal system for heating domestic hot water. The first two levels of the home are constructed of ICF (insulated concrete forms). Foam is sprayed on the sheeting of the roof to provide a conditioned attic space that is unvented to reduce utility cost and risk of fire. A hot water loop is used to provide hot water quickly to each fixture and reduce water waste. A HRV (heat recovery ventilator) is installed to exchange air in the home and provide point of use exhaust. Photo by Paul Kohlman
