We're very pleased to report that William and Sheila Moore’s elegant and eco-friendly
home, located at 4719 North 24th Road, was recently featured in a
CNN special report on green building features and options. Our
family-owned company, Arlington Designer Homes,
designed and built this one-of-a-kind green home in 2007. It features energy-efficient windows and
doors, EnergyStar appliances, recycled carpets, reclaimed hardwood
floors, low VOC paints, an advanced insulation package with spray-foam
insulation, and a geo-thermal heating and air conditioning system.
CNN hosted the national report, which showed examples of green,
energy-efficient building techniques and features being used around the U.S.,
from inside the Moores’ home, highlighting how well the home’s green features
blend in and actually enhance the warmth and livability of the house.
One of the most important things this house
demonstrates is that ‘green’ doesn’t have to be boring or utilitarian. The home on
North 24th Road features reclaimed wood floors, and a gorgeous and
rare salvaged walnut countertop in the kitchen. In the entryway, we embedded
fossils in a recycled stone tile wall for a truly unique and beautiful look.
At the same time, the
green features included in this home will combine to reduce energy costs by up
to 50%, prevent toxic off-gassing, seal out mold, allergens and pollutants, and
significantly reduce the homes’ carbon output.
We'll have the video up on our website soon - stay tuned!
