theSAGE has solar

If you’ve been following our construction of theSAGE at the Arbor South Architecture Group on Facebook, you’ll know all the sustainable features we’re packing into 1,447 sq ft.
We’re targeting LEED Platinum and pulling out all the stops. This picture shows the 2KW solar photovoltaic panels. There’s also a solar hot water collector (can’t see it). Super insulation and more.
I’m going to get pictures of the reclaimed wood flooring and post those soon. Its looking incredible!
You can purchase this plan at thesimpleHOUSE. You can also buy this home (Eugene, Oregon) — just contact us.

new blog look

At long last, I think I’ve settled on a blog design. Thanks to the people at Pyzam. We’ve also cleaned it up and there are no more ads. After all, we want simple, not clutter.

LEED AP

Well, I took the test and passed. 

I am now a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED AP for short — now I know why they abbreviate it!). It’s another step in learning and staying in touch with what’s happening in sustainability.

theSAGE


We are in week six of construction. theSAGE has roof, windows installed and we are now working on interior “infrastructure”. We are targeting LEED Platinum. We are pulling out all the stops — solar PV, solar DHW, massive insulation, small infill site, reclaimed and reused redwood from the Cuthbert Amphitheater benches (it’s incredible wood! Thanks to BRING Recycling for contacting us).
We will be offering the plan for sale on our website soon.

theJADE ready for purchase!

Well, finally, we have theJADE plan ready for purchase via download. It took a little longer because demand for crawl space options is high and we wanted to offer the plan either way. You can also now download sample elevation pages for each plan. This will gve you an idea of what each side of the house looks like as well as an idea of the level of detail in our construction documents.
