This month we are very excited to be visiting a full green remodel by Seattle’s own Envision Homes. It remains somewhat of a work in progress, but reveals the companies passion for residential remodeling that touches on every facet of sustainable living. If you have ever thought of a major green remodel you will want to join us on this month’s tour. It will be an amazing opportunity to see the full range of green building materials and to meet and discuss the process, experience and objectives with the homeowner.
The GreenDwellingSeattle Monthly Home Tours are designed to be more than just a walk through a home, but a complete green building experience. Participants are given an introduction to common green building materials at ecoHAUS and then enjoy a guided tour of a select green home led by the people that are responsible for the homes design and construction. Join Dwell founder Anthony Maschmedt and architect Julian Weber for an informative experience regarding the materials, techniques, technologies, and of course design philosophy behind this collection of four urban homes.
For this month’s tour we will be visiting Beau Developments new urban lofts project in Seattle’s Judkins Park Neighborhood. This community of homes are very unique not only for their extensive use of green building materials, but for the fact that they will be the first homes in the city of Seattle to be certified under the US Department of Energy Builder’s Challenge program. They are estimated to provide their homeowner’s with a 40% reduction in energy costs over homes built to the 2004 IECC home.
