Professional Builder 's GreenZone Positions a Woodland Retreat in the Heart of Greenbuild
The Greenbuild Cabin, designed by Resolution:4 Architecture and
built by Simplex Homes, invites architects, builders and designers
at Greenbuild to see products at work in a modular one-room
retreat.
The 806-square-foot cabin is designed to have a strong connection
to the exterior, with abundant natural lighting achieved through
low-e, Argonne-filled, double-pane glass. With a LEED Platinum
certification as the goal, the cabin employs a number of green
technologies, including rainwater collection, a greywater system,
photovoltaic array, EPDM rubber membrane roofing system and a
super-insulated envelope.
Despite its small footprint, the cabin houses a fully functional
kitchen and, through its creative use of space and natural
lighting, invites residents to live large and open in a wooded
environment.
