In collaboration with C.M. Greene Homes, custom “GREEN” Home Builder, we developed a plan for a new 3100 square foot home, designed with Prairie School flair.

• Some of the basic green features are as follows:
• The foundation is made up of prefabricated hi-stress concrete panel walls from Superior Walls of Springfield, IL.

The first and second floor walls are pre-fabricated into wall panels off site, and hoisted into place on site, where they are filled with blown cellulose insulation

• Cementitious stucco panel siding, with low VOC paint
• The “buff” colored brick as supplied by Kirchner block and brick, was manufactured in Kansas City - within 500 miles of the job site.
• Low VOC finishes throughout the interior
• FSC certified wood flooring

And then the mechanics :

• Very Hi-efficiency HVAC systems
• Very Hi-efficiency solar thermal water heating system
• Natural light to all the rooms of the interior

This private residence is slated for completion March 30, 2009. Drive by and see the new home as the finishing touches are inplemented - at 7422 Hoover Ave.
