Lately we've been looking into some pretty exciting green multi-family housing developments. They have the potential to be pretty transformative, but given the current economic climate it's definitely going to take continued time/hard work to get things going. We'll keep you updated as we move forward.
In the meantime, we've also been working with the very talented architects over at Ebersoldt + Underwood to reimagine our 1-story homes. What they've come up with is, IMHO, awesome.
One of our biggest challenges has been balancing forward-thinking architecture with demand (and a city) that leans towards a more traditional approach.

No one's really been able to pull it off here, and we all know brick facades with vinyl siding ain't gonna cut it.

Jay, these look amazing! If anyone can make this happen its EcoUrban. I know there are people out there looking for this. Good Luck
Looks great. Any idea on price points yet?
Thanks for your comments folks. Still working out the price, will know soon.
Love option B. These are the types of homes we could definitely be in the market for!
I like the plans. One story plans have been missing from the market. Do these houses have basements? What about a 2 bed plan or detached garages. I think those would appeal to a lot of people these days.
I'm gonna choose the 3rd image. The plans so great. Keep on posting more plans.
