Sustainable Living
Belmont, CA


A daughter's asthma inspires a family to design and build an energy efficient, low allergy home. Combining intelligent design, lots of windows and two solar systems, the house achieves near-energy-self-sufficiency, producing enough power that on sunny days the house generates a surplus of electricity. Recycled materials, including a kitchen counter made from curbside collected glass, concrete floors and walls, and insulation from recycled newspapers help create an allergy free interior environment. A home of the future, in an urban area, that is beautiful, safe and environmentally friendly.
