Being environmentally friendly isn’t merely a trend. After thousands of years of using the earth’s resources, we have finally come to realize that we are destroying this beautiful gift we were honored with. Architects play an influential role in trying to preserve this gift by encouraging a multitude of strategies that can be more cost efficient in the long run, be more comfortable for its users, and most importantly, have a lower carbon footprint. Strategies can include drastic changes to heat and air systems, construction material selections, or even specific design details to the architecture of a building that would reduce the amount of energy it consumes.

The House became the embodiment of the Greene & Greene design philosophy. Starting with consideration to climate. The design allows for cross ventilation by creating multiple windows in all directions, and connections to the outside porches, allowing patrons to sleep inside or outside comfortably within the heat of the city.

Ahead in his time, Frank Lloyd Wright, set the standard in architect design high when he designed “The Fallingwater House” in 1938. “Voted the most significant building in the last 125 years,” (The Falling Water House) the Fallingwater House is set in the Laurel Highlands of south western Pennsylvania, has become notoriously known for being designed in of our past while demonstrating what the future can hold.

We expect to face many environmental challenges when launching our tiny home venture. Because of the “newness”, many people do not know how to feel about tiny homes. This new home requires buyers aware and informed, and requires that one be open to learning more. This impacts us because it requires us to educate the customer about tiny homes, and the best practices when we are connecting them to builders. To counter this challenge, we plan to make engaging and fun videos that will be linked to our YouTube channel and Facebook pages. This is an opportunity to leverage our online community that we hope to foster on our social media accounts. Already, there is a small but mighty presence of tiny home enthusiast bloggers and Facebook groups. We can crowdsource this wealth of information to education our customers.
