This new house in an existing neighborhood has a tight lot, but a small footprint is a worthy goal, literally and figuratively. The environmental or carbon footprint can be greatly minimized by sustainable design. The house is compact and cozy on the north side, while opening to the sun and the view on the south side.
The Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Brock Environmental Center is a model of sustainability. The Center feeds solar and wind powered energy back to the grid after harvesting what's needed, collects rainfall that provides 100% of all water used, including the high standard of drinking water, exemplifies zero waste and emissions, and models how building materials can be so natural and non-toxic, you could almost put it in a blender and drink it.
