The Modern Single House


It's interesting to read about a particular family's experience with eco-friendly building, instead of purely theoretical discussions or houses built to be sold rather than for specific people. I'm excited to see how all these things shape the Lowcountry over the next ten or twenty years!

"In the Holy City, before there was 'building green,' there was building smart. The Charleston single stands as a testament to the principles of sustainability, though its historic architects never threw around the term. Its durability, optimization of coastal breezes, and classic urban design drew homeowners Dustin and Peter Valinski to commission a thoroughly modern take on the single house with an eye toward family function, sheltering aesthetic, and environmental consideration."
