New projects
On the boards these days, we have:
Restaurants - one for Chef Graham Elliot Bowles, one to feature regional Mexican cuisine.
Residential additions - working magic in tight spaces to make two urban homes more contemporary, functional, and livable.
Youth Jobs Center of Evanston, Inc. - an urban Passive House retrofit of an existing building (and a fairly groundbreaking concept at that) for this great nonprofit organization.
San Jose Obrero Mission - space planning consultation for another exemplary nonprofit.
Chicagoland PassivHaus Alliance
On a recent trip to PHIUS, we were asked, along with Wii Design-Build, to head up the Chicagoland PassivHaus Alliance. Stay tuned for more information.
We also got to see University of Illinois’ second-place winner in the 2009 Solar Decathlon (pictured above) - a great example of the PassivHaus standard in action.
