[Video] Walking Through a Modern Green Home

By archives on Feb. 4, 2008 | Topics: LEED, Modern architecture, Single Family | 0 Comments

GreenTeamTV is on the scene in Bend, Oregon with Cary Martinez, co-founder of Abacus GC, taking a tour through one of the homes in Newport District Modern House Project.  We wrote about Abacus GC’s five-house project previously, which is pursuing LEED certification.  The video shows the developer’s perspective of trying to build something to suit a lifestyle:  lighter footprint, less reliance on automobiles, and healthy, green living.  You’ll also see some cool products, such as PaperStone counters, Eco-Terr tiles, wheatboard cabinets, Design Within Reach lights, and Jenn Air Professional Series appliances.
