Hanover House


, Hanover, NH

The Hanover House uses active and passive solar systems and high efficiency, resulting in extremely low energy consumption. It is a two-story, wood-framed, single-family residence built for a middle-aged couple with no children. The house has a basement and garage; three-quarters of the window area for the house is on the south side for passive solar gain. No combustion is used; energy needs not provided in solar gain are provided with electricity.

People's Food Co-op


, Portland, OR

In 1970, People's Food Co-op (generally called People's) set up shop in a building nearly one hundred years old that previously hosted a neighborhood grocery. The goal was to set the standard for sustainable groceries. Twenty-five years later, growing membership and an increasing customer base rendered the meager and dimly lit 2,400-square-foot space a liability to retail and office operations. To alleviate these constraints, People's renovated their existing space and grew the building to 5,400 square feet, incorporating innovative sustainable features along the way. The total project cost was approximately $900,000. From start to finish, the People's expansion demonstrates the value of viewing buildings holistically and executing integrated design processes.

Seattle Justice Center


, Seattle, WA

The Seattle Justice Center is 14-story building within the three-block Civic Center area of downtown Seattle. The Justice Center houses Seattle's municipal courts and police headquarters in a dense urban setting. The design challenge was to create distinct and unique identities for the courts and the police headquarters within one building. The combination of programs yielded a structure with two different parts: a primarily glass Courts portion that occupies the southern part of the block and a primarily stone Police portion on the northern part. The bipartite nature of the building is also reflected in the organization of the Civic Center Master Plan; both building and urban design are inextricably linked.

The Barn at Fallingwater


, Mill Run, PA

The Barn at Fallingwater is an adaptive reuse of a 19th century heavy-timber barn and its 20th century addition, framed in dimension lumber. The 19th century structure is a bank barn, built into the side of a hill so that two levels can be accessed directly from grade level. It serves as an interpretive portal for the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy's 5,000-acre Bear Run nature reserve, immediately adjacent to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater. Beyond meeting the Conservancy's need for a program center and administrative office space, the Barn provides a living reminder of a largely vanished agrarian way of life in Western Pennsylvania. It manifests the Conservancy's mission statement: "Saving the places we care about by connecting people to the natural world."

Third Creek Elementary


, Statesville, NC

After the local community decided that a new elementary school would serve their needs best, Third Creek Elementary consolidated two aging schools, one that served Kindergarten through grade 2 and another that served grades 3 through 5. Many educational and community use features are incorporated into the design. The administrative offices are located at the main entrance to have good supervision of all visitors. The grade levels are broken down into smaller "houses" comprised of two grade levels each. The gymnasium, stage, and dining room are located so they may operate after hours for community use, while the academic portion of the building is secured.

Whistler Olympic/ Paralympic Village

Cheakamus Crossing, Whistler, British Columbia

KEY SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

  • District Energy System: expected to meet up to 90% of heating and domestic hot water requirements of the development
  • Natural stormwater management and treatment
  • Compact, diverse neighbourhood design that supports active transportation
  • LEED-ND pilot project

Located six kilometres south of the Resort Municipality of Whistler, the Whistler Olympic Village—also called Cheakamus Crossing--was built for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to house approximately 3,500 visiting athletes and officials. The compact, pedestrian-focused development supports active transportation such as walking and bicycling, as well as car sharing. It is intended to become a vibrant neighbourhood with a diverse housing mix and proximity to numerous recreational opportunities and neighbourhood services.

Housing types include 221 resident-restricted homes for sale, fifty-five rental apartments for the Whistler Housing Authority, twenty market townhouses, 188 hostel beds and twenty unrestricted single-family lots. The neighbourhood also includes an Athletes Centre with the 100-room Athletes Lodge, twenty rental townhomes for athletes and the High Performance Centre. Following the Games, all of these will be managed and operated by the Whistler 2010 Sport Legacies Society. The Whistler Olympic/ Paralympic Village is one of only twenty Canadian developments designated as pilot projects for LEED-ND, which sets the highest standards in green neighbourhood design practices in North America.

Whitman-Hanson School


, Whitman, MA

Whitman-Hanson has many "smart building" features, such as HVAC systems that detect the number of occupants and adjust HVAC settings. This project incorporates more sensors and controls than the average school building, and requires less human intervention. Other "smart building" technologies include interactive electronic white boards for the classrooms and video broadcasting.

The building was constructed to alleviate overcrowding at the old facility. The new building has been designed to use 39% less energy than a baseline building, equating to estimated savings of up to $100,000 per year in operation costs.
