The Visible Green Home Tour Series
Green homes. Sustainable homes. High-Performance homes. These phrases can be found in the news every day …but what do they really mean?
What they mean is intelligent home design; in the face of the formidable energy, economic and ecological pressures, we are essentially redefining our concept of personal dwelling spaces. Never has the world of residential housing design faced such an opportunity for real and fundamental change. Many folks are interested in learning more about Green design and construction, but are not quite sure where to turn. Enter our Visible Green Home™ Tour series. Problem solved!
Architectural Resource is very excited to offer to the public periodic opportunities to enjoy special project perspectives: unique glimpses of the inner workings of deep Green residential projects, both new and remodel…during construction! Michael Klement, AIA, of Architectural Resource and his builder colleagues and trade allies will personally guide attendees through the homes on these tours. The myriad of Green and Sustainable design and construction features of the projects 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.
