Showcase House: Wired Home by Living Homes
I wasn't at all surprised to get the press release today on the Wired Home by Living Homes. Wired has for a long time given good coverage to modern, green homes that embrace technology as well as good design. And working with Living Homes is a perfect match. Living Homes produces stunning modern luxury homes to the highest LEED standards. The house will showcase many aspects of green design and construction including prefab, reclamation and reuse, infill, sustainable materials, LED lighting, efficient appliances, the latest in solar power ... you name it this house will have it. As for technology, you don't have to worry, the house will have the latest and greatest of everything, of course (c'mon, this is the Wired Home, so expect a lot - you'll get it).
It's a big home, over 4,000 square feet, and it will cost millions. I tend to advocate smaller homes and affordability for regular families, but I'm not about to fire any criticism at the project, because it is meant to be a showcase house, and all showcase houses are top end. This project is already underway, and will be completed and open to public tours by this fall. A percentage of the proceeds from ticket sales will go to Global Green USA.
I think we'll see a lot of neat stuff come out of this project, and I'm looking forward to seeing it when it's done. Should be cool. Certainly looks great. Read the press release on the Wired Home site for full details.

To the anonymous person who left a comment regarding this post - I have deleted it. The reason is this: I can't verify what you are saying as fact, and because I don't know who you are I prefer not to become the defacto source of your accusations. I hope you can understand my position. Thanks.
I think it's great they think of something like that (which we should had come up with like 50 years ago) but i'm just wondering....why isn't there a rain water collector??? that is really stupid, ANY sustaintable home should have one...with that water you can flush the toillet and water plants...even scrub floors!!
