Featured Architecture Project
|
|
Brookline Residence | Brookline MA
The Brookline Residence is designed to accommodate a multi-generational family. The paired living spaces on the first and second levels are architecturally expressed on the front facade by window systems that asymmetrically wrap the corners of the house.
The glazed entry door opens into the family foyer, and allows visitors to proceed directly through the home to the outdoor living space.
Currently completing the design process, more information about the project is available on the ZED website.

New LEED Interpretations and Addenda Database
|
 The USGBC has released a Beta version of the new LEED Interpretations and Addenda Database.
"The database replaces the user interface for the Historic CIR database, yet includes all the same content and ALL the same search capabilities, but with noticeable improvements. In other words, all the historic CIRs once found in the old database, including those in LEED Online v2, are located in the database using similar methods. All NEW LEED Interpretations and LEED 2009 Addenda can also be located in the database."
Please note, USGBC site login is required. Learn More:
