We wanted to use the Mullet House to experiment with methods to update existing homes into sustainable houses for this century. This means using ways of building that can work easily with older homes and a few that are flat out experimental. The building ideas break into five parts: basement renovation, existing house remodeling, the new second story construction, garage remodeling and the new landscape. Each area deals with radically different sustainable strategies that we’ll break out into chapters chronicling the changes and techniques used to make that part of the home more sustainable. I hope these ideas will inspire and help you tackle your own home renovation project. Below is a diagram of the strategies and their components:
We’ll look at each part of the house construction in more detail as the construction moves forward to help you understand how these methods can work for your own project.
It would be nice to see how these features are done. It's pretty tough to tell from this one image. More images please. Chuck
Your sunshine graphic makes me happy. You should post some pics Colin - like maybe one of me with frozen toes and a staple gun. Ah, that was a good day.
