Silvia & Silvia Associates recently announced a partnership with FreeGreen. If you (or your client) is interested in building a sustainable, energy-efficient home in modern or traditional styles, Silvia & Silvia Associates would be pleased to work with you. You can learn more about our FreeGreen home plans on our website.

Some of our sustainable home plans include
:

Cape style home planThe Comfortable Cape has been designed to prove that the concepts of classic architectural style and high performance homes need not be mutually exclusive. From window bench seats to traditional window symmetry these plans have a broad range of application from the beach to the suburbs.

Healthy FamilyDesigned for today's busy, health-conscious family, Healthy Family homes combine comfortable contemporary living with superior indoor air quality and low energy bills. Functional options, such as mudrooms and home offices are provided to help families manage the chaos of daily life.

The National Association of Home Builders also reported their builder confidence rating increased to its highest level since May 2008. Although the statistics show rates are lower than previous years, the increases over the past few months are welcome signs in a troubled economy.
