Greetings!

Green building can take on a whole new level when materials such as cob are used to construct the home. Details are below.

Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend!
Cob home: How one family built their green residence

kitchen

USA Today recently featured an interesting and modern green home that takes its aesthetics and function to an extreme.

The home, constructed mostly of cob -- "a mixture of water, clay, sand and straw as well as pumice" -- was awarded the Living Building Challenge. The standard is probably one of the most strict environmental building guidelines.

Duxbury: Railroad Avenue Revitalization

duxbury

"The Railroad Ave revitalization project is inspired by a desire to re-invent and re-purpose an iconic local building to create an asset for the community and incorporate green building solutions.

This site is designed to create a conversation about ideas an options for the former Goodrich Lumber property on Railroad Avenue in Duxbury, Mass.

A growing number of residents have suggested that it would be a perfect place for an indoor sports complex. There are lots of positives associated with this idea.

Duxbury has a reputation for excellence in sports. An indoor facility close to the schools could enhance this reputation and provide the opportunity to practice throughout the year.

The current building is structurally sound and could be re-purposed for this facility."
