Farms, ranches, recreational vehicles, boats, and military bases are off-grid and resilient. Our energy+water+food renovations move this nonprofit apartment for low-income seniors closer to Texas independence. The owner joined the Department of Energy's Better Buildings Challenge to reduce overall energy + water by 20% in 10 years. This fellow taxpayer and citizen appreciates our client's stewardship of government (HUD) resources and senior lives that matter.

This project won in the 2013 Builders Association of Metropolitan Pittsburgh Housing Excellence Award for Best Urban Renewal Renovation Project. The glass bowl was made in the glass studio owned by the owner which is adjacent to the residence. The mirror is a repurposed window. The door is repurposed from a boarding house. George Mendel
