Sustainable Doesn’t Have To Mean “Modern”
Just in case you were wondering, you CAN build a sustainable home that anyone looking at it would immediately identify as a HOUSE. Have you ever noticed that kids always draw the same thing when you ask them to draw a house, no matter where they grew up? Peaked roof, two rectangular windows in the front, maybe a dormer or two…
I’ve never seen a kid draw Fallingwater when asked to draw a house. 
Not that there’s anything wrong with a modern house, believe me, I LOVE modern houses, particularly of the mid-century flavor, but I think this one is a good response for those neighborhoods where a more modern shaped house wouldn’t be a good fit.
