Casa Verde Pushes Limits of Residential Sustainability
Single-family homes are increasingly adopting sustainable building features. One such example is The Artec Group's Casa Verde project in Redington Shores, Fla.
This contemporary home, designed in the minimalist style, is built on a framing system constructed of recycled structural steel and concrete, and features an exterior built of EIFS (exterior insulated finish system). As a result, the structure is hurricane-, earthquake- and fire-resistant.
