Cal: What a clever plan! This is the only plan I saw that actually adresses a flexible solar orientation. Builders will love this plan because it works on most lot types without modifying the design. Homeowners will love it because of the great spaces, indoor/outdoor connection and the healthy, eco-friendly, energy smart features. AND ALL AT A REALISTIC AFFORDABLE BUILD COST. Cheers! Great Entry! Can't wait for you to win so I can download the plan from the FreeGreen website and build one fot myself.

Matthew: Greg: Thank you for the vote and recommendation. The comments on your blog regarding the competition are pointed, and I appreciate that your design also does a good job at addressing the program. As you mentioned, the voters and judges should be challenged to pay close attention to how each of the designs address the key issues of the program: -Sustainability -Flexibility on Orientation and Lot Size -Affordability and the ability to realistically be built for a modest price -Context and will the design contribute to a community. -of course Livability of the plan. As you mentioned, too often with design competitions I see the judges and voters get dazzled by flashy drawings or out of budget design details and don't pay as close attention to the practical details. I hope and expect more from this one. May the best design win!
