New Sustainable Homes: Designs for Healthy Living

2011-12-02T17:16:00.000-08:00

What makes a sustainable house a sustainable home?

NEW SUSTAINABLE HOMES will address that question by presenting a wide range of projects where the architect and client have made a conscientious effort to incorporate sustainability into the design of the home and construction materials used in its execution. The result is a home that is less toxic to live in, is cheaper to operate, and often gives back to the environment rather than taking away. Also, and this is the most important consideration for many, it is a great looking, highly livable home that not only retains its value but has been shown to increase in value more quickly than more conventionally conceived houses because of cheaper operating expenses. These designers and their clients are not on the fringe.

NEW SUSTAINABLE HOMES will show readers will learn about the many materials and techniques that make up today's sustainable house, including:

1) the use of pervious concrete on driveways that allows water to seep through to the water table below.

2) using bio–fiber panels in lieu of plywood for interior finishing

3) using organic, green roofs that improve insulation, absorb sound and manage storm–water runoff

4) solar water heating systems

5) use of high thermal performance windows

The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture

2011-11-20T19:29:00.000-08:00

The design goals of a green house are:

1. Harmonize with the site.

2. Build as small as possible.

3. Use natural heating and cooling

4. Be beautiful as well as ecological.

5. Located close to there the dwellers have to go (work, school, shopping).

6. Refurbish older buildings where possible.

The thirty or so houses described in this book fit these criteria as best as possible. Some of these are in remote locations so fail in that criteria (unless you work at home and do not have children in school). But a surprising number of these dwellings are in cities: New York, Vienna, Stuttgart, Melbourne, San Antonio, Phoenix.

The houses are striking in appearance, inexpensive to build, totally functional. As with other books of home plans, these houses serve as idea books for architects and potential owners to use in their new designs.

Contructed in 1922 in french neoclassic style, it served of residence for 80 years and resisted the real state speculation while almost all the others had been knocked down for the construction of new buildings... Today, surrounded of building, it functions as a particular cultural center called House of Art and Culture Julieta de Serpa, a homage to the mother of the current proprietor. The mansion also has some luxurious restaurants with sofisticated food! Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Pratt-Campbell Mansion in Wichita, KS - designed-built by William Henry Sternberg

Pratt-Campbell Mansion in Wichita, KS - designed-built by William Henry Sternberg
Originally uploaded by kendahlarama

This wonderful brick mansion on North Emporia in Wichita, KS is still standing today! Built c. 1887-1888 by William Henry Sternberg (1832 - 1906), it features multiple fireplaces, ornate wood porches, fancy corbelled chimneys, a three-story tower and a roof-line broken with many angles. The Pratt Campbell Mansion at 1313 North Emporia is confirmed to have been designed & built by William Henry Sternberg. This residence resembles other Sternberg homes from a number of stylistic features including "helter skelter" roofline broken by a variety of pitches and dormers. Aside from the eyebrow dormers at the very apes of the roof, there are no curved elements to this house. Like the Sternberg Mansion & the Greiffenstein Mansion, this structure is a mix of angularity. Extremely tall, ornately corbelled chimeny flues are a another familiar feature of Sternberg residences.

This house in the 1300 block of North Emporia was built c. 1887 - 1888 for George Pratt, a prominent lumber baron of the day. City directories indicate that Mr. Pratt was living at 142 North Emporia in 1888 and moved up-the-street to 1313 North Emporia in 1889. Mr. Pratt moved to Wichita from Wisonsin and worked for years as the manager of the Chicago Lumber Company (which was at the corner of Broadway and First Street). The Chicago Lumber Company was one of the largest lumber yards in Wichita and remained so even after the economic boom. M. C. Campbell also who had been living in the 1200 block of North Emporia also moved up-the-street when he purchased this home from Mr. Pratt in 1899. Today it is commonly known as the Pratt-Campbell Mansion. Campbell was a developer of the Kansas livestock industry.

The Mansion is very tall with high ceilings and quality hand-detailed woodwork throughout. A number of other custom features about this home are worth mentioning. When built, this home was outfitted with a gas lighting system (from Chicago). Each individual gas light was lit by a electric sparking igniter giving an instant on/off capability to the gas lighting vs. the usual hand-lighting of gas lights via a long pole. The house is also known for having been the first in Wichita to have a laundry chute. This novel step-saving feature was one way in which Sternberg designed homes for the comfort and ease-of-use of their occupants.

Today, the tall chimneys have been taken down to the roof-line and the carriage house is gone. Additional charming homes have in-filled the neighborhood, but none are as tall or as elegant as the Pratt-Campbell Mansion. This grand home is a designated Local Landmark.

Years before this house was built, Sternberg was promoting himself as both an “architect and builder” of homes, specifically “designing and drafting” services. An advertisement for Sternberg, Hall & Co in the 1869 - 1870 Chenango County, New York Directory noted, “Being Architects and Builders themselves, they know just what is wanted for a house and how to prepare it. Give them your patronage if you would have everything in first-class style.” Some have tended to think of W.H. Sternberg as mainly a contractor, but indeed the architecting and design services that he did himself were a substantial portion of his business

Tempe City Hall, Tempe Arizona
Originally uploaded by Alex Sommers

This award-winning and unusual building was completed in 1970. It serves as municipal offices for the City of Tempe. It first opened for business in 1971. Its unique shape was designed to conserve energy by allowing less light into the building. It was designed by Michael and Kemper Goodwin, Tempe architects. In 1971, it received an award of excellence from the American Institute of Steel Construction, and in 1972 received an award of merit from the Western Mountain Region of the American Institute of Architects.

The building a good example of a unique style of architecture built in 1970. The "upside down pyramid" as it is commonly referred to is unique in structure and not common
