This award-winning home in Cannon Beach, Oregon takes advantage of excellent ocean views and southern solar exposure. The client’s goal was for a home that would last for multiple generations and capture their love of materials and forms found in nature. Designed to generate as much energy as it consumes on an annual basis, the home is pursuing the goal of being a “net-zero-energy” residence. The environmentally responsive design promotes a healthy indoor environment, saves energy with an ultra energy-efficient envelope, and utilized recycled and salvaged materials in its construction.

This custom, high-performance home was designed and built to a LEED for Homes Platinum rating, the highest rating given to homes when certified by the US Green Building Council. The house has been laid out to take maximum advantage of both passive and active solar energy, natural ventilation, low impact and recyclable materials, high efficiency lighting and controls, in a structure that is very simple and economical to build. The envelope of the house is designed to require a minimum amount of energy in order to live and use the home based on the lifestyle of the occupants. The home will have an innovative HVAC system that has been recently developed by engineers from the University of Illinois which uses considerably less energy than a conventional heating and cooling system and provides extremely high indoor air quality utilizing a CERV (conditioned energy recovery ventilation system) combined with a cost effective installation.

Farmhouse Reinvented - Interior Design Project in Marlboro, New York Design: Duncan Avenue // Maxwell & Dino Alexander Construction: ToughConstruct | Hudson Valley Welcome to the historic (circa 1870) Hudson Valley Farmhouse in the heart of legendary Marlboro, NY. It has been completely reimagined by the Award-Winning Duncan Avenue Design Studio and has become an inspiring, stylish and extremely comfortable zero-emissions 21st century smart home just minutes away from NYC. Situated on top of a hill and an acre of picturesque landscape, it could become your turnkey second-home, a vacation home, rental or investment property, or an authentic Hudson Valley Style dream home for generations to come. The Farmhouse has been renovated with style, design, sustainability, functionality, and comfort in mind and incorporates more than a dozen smart technology, energy efficiency, and sustainability features. Contemporary open concept floorplan, glass french doors and 210° wraparound porch with 3-season outdoor dining space blur the line between indoor and outdoor living and allow residents and guests to enjoy a true connection with surrounding nature. Wake up to the sunrise shining through double glass doors on the east side of the house and watch the warm sunset rays shining through plenty of energy-efficient windows and french doors on the west. High-end finishes such as sustainable bamboo hardwood floors, sustainable concrete countertops, solid wood kitchen cabinets with soft closing drawers, energy star stainless steel appliances, and designer light fixtures are only a few of the updates along with a brand-new central HVAC heat pump system controlled by smart Nest thermostat with two-zone sensors. Brand new roof, utilities, and all LED lighting bring additional value and comfort for many years to come. The property features a beautiful designer pergola on the edge of the hill with an opportunity for the in-ground infinity pool. Property's sun number is 91 and is all set for installation of your own solar farm that will take the property go 100% off-grid. Superior quality renovation, energy-efficient smart utilities, world-class interior design, sustainable materials, and Authentic Hudson Valley Style make this unique property a true real estate gem and once-in-a-lifetime investment opportunity to own a turnkey second-home and a piece of the Hudson Valley history.

A little farm below a hillside resort-style off-the-grid view home, all offering unparalleled views of the Sonoma Valley and year-round sunsets from every corner of this truly special lot. State-of-the-art sustainable features are incorporated throughout the fully utilized 3 acres, emphasizing self-sufficiency and durability. This small compound property boasts multiple gathering spaces, playgrounds, and an extensive network of paths for communing with nature and slowing down the pace of life and promoting the healthiest of lifestyle in the heart of the Wine Country. Ideal for both small and large-scale entertainment, every aspect of this freshly built, compound-like estate, thoughtfully designed and with no spared expenses in above and below-ground infrastructure, creating a truly unique property. Perfect for a family, a private couple retreat, or a recreational oasis, it offers dramatic and spectacular views from every level. The floor plan is very versatile and can accommodate multiple uses and configurations, but particular efforts were placed in spending time outside on the multiple decks or in the terraced gardens or tiered gathering spaces. Developed with a strong emphasis on safety and self-sustenance, the property can operate off the grid, produce its own water, food, and energy, all with the latest technologies and smarthome features. Noble and durable materials are incorporated throughout, including water reuse systems, meticulous hydrology, and marvels of civil engineering to create a unique and peaceful promontory overlooking wineries and magically chiselled landscapes to create the perfect backdrop year round, featuring a dynamic that is just as interesting during the day, and different most days, and extraordinary at night both looking down in the valley and to gaze at the starry sky. Save money and the environment, or withdraw from the world by utilizing self-sufficiency. Deliberate restraint was exercised to contain or eliminate any carbon footprint and promote indoor outdoor living at its finest. This view property is conveniently located minutes away from the town of Glen Ellen and straddles both Sonoma and Napa County, offering all the best of the Wine Country life, while being close to San Francisco as well.

Green Home Systems recently completed a successful solar project in Bloomsburg, PA for Eric M. The project was completed in a few months and consisted of 5.04 kW of solar panels installed on the flat roof of Eric’s home. Eric chose Green Home Systems for their competitive pricing and wide selection of solar panels. He was also impressed with their warranty and customer service. After researching online, Eric decided to go solar to reduce his utility bill, increase the value of his home, and take advantage of the easy payment terms offered by Green Home Systems. The installation process began with an inspection of the roof to ensure it was suitable for mounting the solar panels. The inspections revealed that some minor repairs were needed before installation could begin. Green Home Systems team quickly repaired any damage to the roof and got to work installing the panels. Once the installation was complete, Eric quickly noticed a reduction in his monthly utility bills as well as an increase in the value of his home due to having clean energy sources available. He also was very pleased with how quickly and efficiently Green Home Systems completed the project. The team at Green Home Systems is dedicated to providing customers with top-notch service and quality products at competitive prices. We strive to make your transition from traditional energy sources to renewable energy sources as smooth as possible by providing support throughout every step of the process.

Glass - If “the eyes are the windows to the soul,” then “glass windows are the soul of your sunroom.” Nothing lets the light in (or keeps the bugs and the elements out) better than glass, and it’s not just any glass. The new high-tech performance glass blocks up to 90-percent of UV rays, and reduces energy costs. Depending on your needs and budget, a variety of glass options can be utilized in any Carolina Home Exteriors Sunroom. Single-Pane glass windows are the most affordable and will provide a durable, clear view to the outside. If you’re adding a Four Seasons Sunroom you’ll want to use Energy Star-rated insulted double-pane windows to maximize energy efficiency, reducing heating and cooling costs. Further, Carolina Home Exteriors installs tempered glass, which is the same formula used in automobile glass. It resists breaking, but if it does it shatters into tiny pieces, reducing the risk of injury and damage to surrounding materials. Energy Star is a U.S. Government-recognized classification designed to help consumers know the true cost of everything from appliances to HVAC, and even windows.

This custom, high-performance home was designed and built to a LEED for Homes Platinum rating, the highest rating given to homes when certified by the US Green Building Council. The house has been laid out to take maximum advantage of both passive and active solar energy, natural ventilation, low impact and recyclable materials, high efficiency lighting and controls, in a structure that is very simple and economical to build. The envelope of the house is designed to require a minimum amount of energy in order to live and use the home based on the lifestyle of the occupants. The home will have an innovative HVAC system that has been recently developed by engineers from the University of Illinois which uses considerably less energy than a conventional heating and cooling system and provides extremely high indoor air quality utilizing a CERV (conditioned energy recovery ventilation system) combined with a cost effective installation.

Our inspiration for this home was an updated and refined approach to Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Prairie-style”; one that responds well to the harsh Central Texas heat. By DESIGN we achieved soft balanced and glare-free daylighting, comfortable temperatures via passive solar control measures, energy efficiency without reliance on maintenance-intensive Green “gizmos” and lower exterior maintenance. The client’s desire for a healthy, comfortable and fun home to raise a young family and to accommodate extended visitor stays, while being environmentally responsible through “high performance” building attributes, was met. Harmonious response to the site’s micro-climate, excellent Indoor Air Quality, enhanced natural ventilation strategies, and an elegant bug-free semi-outdoor “living room” that connects one to the outdoors are a few examples of the architect’s approach to Green by Design that results in a home that exceeds the expectations of its owners.
