Welcome!
Once
completed, this home will be one of the most environmentally-friendly
and energy efficient homes in metro-Atlanta. Built upon the principles
of Southface’s
Earthcraft
House® program, and designed as a Not
So Big House®, it should both complement the existing neighborhood,
and enhance the value of the community. But perhaps most of all,
it is meant to be a model for future Earth-friendly home construction,
and prove that quality homes need not cost more nor look like
they were designed by architects from another planet.
Here's
a quick guide to what you will find on this website:

house came to be, who the future owner will be, the builder,

design of the home, and some commentary on various components
of the layout.

more about them.
