Come check out Urban Green’s net-zero energy home in Mount Rainier, MD as we introduce our new line of next-generation, sustainable homes. This Energy Star certified, modular home has a true “zen” vibe with an open floor plan, bamboo floors and passive solar benefits. This “Net-Zero Energy” home generates more energy than it consumes saving the homeowner $4,000/year in utilities using a 6.5 kW rooftop solar array, super-insulated thermal envelope, water use reduction features, LED lighting and advanced HVAC + hot-water systems. Just steps from public transportation and only 1 block from the DC border, this home has set the standard for high-performance, next-generation housing in the Washington, DC metro region.

The Granada is one of our most popular surface mount sinks. This round copper sink is hand hammered from recycled copper by our master artisans. Through years of skill and experience passed down from previous generations, the end result is a one-of-a-kind work of art. Made from 16 gauge copper, the beautiful Cordoba has a warm antique finish and a flat lip allowing either drop-in or undermount installation. Copper is amazingly easy to maintain. Fingerprints do not show as they will on stainless steel and other metals. For basic cleaning, simply use soap and water. Laboratory testing has shown that, when cleaned regularly, a copper surface continuously kills disease-causing bacteria, achieving 99.9% reduction within two hours of exposure. Copper has a "living finish" and its patina will continue to develop character over time, meaning it will become a richer, darker color. The patina creates a unique look of light and dark tones complementing each other. Made with the highest standards of quality and creative design, Novatto sinks add art and function to any bath or powder room.

We began by lightening the space up with a whole unit paint job and lighter engineered wood floors. This lighter space gave us a great foundation for the relaxing feel the client wanted. These clients do not cook. They typically order in or eat out. They do like to entertain with light hors' dourves and drinks, so with that in mind, we proposed a reduction in cabinets to give the kitchen area a larger more airy feel. They fell in love with the blue glass picket tile we found and loved the idea of making a feature tile wall with floating shelves. To complement the tile, we found granite with hints of blue and added the waterfall edge that gave the client the feel of a wall of water. Large polished nickel hardware gave character to the new cabinet door and drawer fronts. For a unique touch, we found reclaimed wood from an old train car that was lightly stained to pull out some blue/gray tones.

This 3 BR, 3 1/2 bath home allows the owners to live on one level most of the time. The Master Suite is on the main level along with the Living Room, Kitchen, Dining, pantries, Sun Room and service areas. The upper level houses two ample bedrooms while the lower level supports a rec center, media room, wine cellar, shop and full wet bar. Conceived as a Great Room house, the main level is designed as one seamless space that flows onto an ample deck overlooking the rear yard.
We also incorporated a variety of green building techniques - photo-voltaic shingles on the roof of the garage to generate a portion of the home's energy, a super insulated building envelope, rain water harvesting, high performance windows and doors, a high efficiency heat pump, low flow bath & kitchen fixtures, Energy Star appliances and LED lighting - that greatly reduced this structure's carbon footprint. All of the strategies amounted to a 30% reduction in the energy consumption in this home relative to comparable structures.
