According to Inhabitat, where I saw this gem, it has “smog-eating” photo-catalytic concrete
Sometimes I think my taste in homes, which used to […]
Last week I posted a catch-up of sorts with my favorite structure blogs around the web. I only got halfway through playing catch-up however so let’s take a look at the rest of the links you absolutely should be checking out this week.
MoCo Loco, reigning king of contemporary design (at least in my opinion) has […]
In a previous post you may remember that I discussed; 10 Reasons Why Building Your Own House Sucks.

From time to time we do have an offbeat emergency. Usually it involves me not being able to sleep until I post something amazing. Today’s emergency comes smack in the middle of the day which is new. I’m in the middle of building a monster city with my son but I took a break to […]
Around the start of the month I posted this; Blue and Green Pittsburgh Home. It was a cool home and a good post except I said this, “In the usually not-so-green nor innovative Pittsburgh…” yup, me just not thinking.

So, lame me; I’m a day or so late in reporting this but for some reason I thought the post I read about this project at CNET said that the WIRED installation was happening next week. I was so excited and then later felt this sinking sensation that I had speed read too quickly. […]
After yesterday’s excitement I thought we’d settle a bit and take a calm look at some topics you know and some you may not concerning sustainable building practices. While by no means comprehensive, all of the following are some good terms to know if you’re interested in green building.

Bamboo flooring
Cob construction
DynoSeal

Why just enjoy your garden underfoot? The hippest (and greenest) in new green roof design allows you to enjoy your garden overhead as well. January’s Custom Home Magazine reports that, “Between 2004 and 2005, total green roof square footage grew 80 percent in the U.S.” What’s this mean to home owners? Green roofing reduces cooling […]
