Designed in collaboration with Make It Right, built in two months and installed in one day, this is our first affordable LivingHome. And it's the first Zero Energy, Zero Carbon production home ever to feature a LEED® Platinum level environmental program and Cradle-to-Cradle® inspired materials. It also includes a really cool new product we co-developed with Bill McDonough.
