Designing A Green Home

“Every project is different, but there are some universal things that will apply from project to project,” says Feldman about designing a green home. “The first—and most obvious thing—is to always try to build less, to have a smaller house and be smart about how the rooms are designed and oriented so that you can get by with less space. Smart design will lead to a smaller building, but it won’t feel smaller.”
