Christy + David Greeneisen came to me
to design their future home in Austin. They wanted to incorporate
as many green features as they could, yet design a home that was
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood fo Las Lomas. The
home will include a 4kw Solar Photovoltaic system, and a rainwater
catchment system..
