Visible Green Home® Tour


The ‘Riverview House’

Jump to…

Architectural Resource and Old School Construction, along with our trade allies and suppliers, are extremely pleased to share a very special home with you.  This remodeling project is registered with the National Association of Home Builders’ National Green Building Certification Program with the goal of ‘Emerald’, making it potentially the first such remodel in S.E. Michigan to earn this program’s highest level of Green certification. 

You are invited to a enjoy a special perspective of this project: a unique glimpse of the inner workings of a potentially history making, whole-house, deep Green remodel… during its construction!  Michael Klement, AIA, of Architectural Resource and Ben Lutzeier of Old School Construction, the architects and builders on the project, will personally guide attendees through the project on tours.  The myriad of Green and Sustainable design and construction features of the project will be presented and explained, firsthand.  This is a rare opportunity – an insider’s opportunity – to learn about emerging smart, sustainable residential design approaches that can be applied to your own project, be it new construction, addition, or remodel.

Key trade allies will be on hand to explain their critical contributions to this project as well.  If you have ever wondered about Green Design and Building, and how it can be incorporated into a project you have been considering, this is an event not to be missed!

Tours will be conducted every hour on the hour.  Although there is no charge, they do require advanced registration through this web site.  Please understand that you will be visiting an actual construction site.  This is the real deal!  Dress warmly, avoid loose clothing, and please wear sturdy shoes.  Restroom facilities are not available at the site, so please plan accordingly.  We recommend arriving early enough to find adequate parking and to check in.  We look forward to seeing you!
