Green Homes
In January 2009, Syracuse University's School of Architecture, in partnership with Syracuse Center of Excellence, Home HeadQuarters, and the Near Westside Initiative, announced three winners of "From the Ground Up: Innovative Green Homes," a competition that fosters advanced thinking about design, sustainability, and cost-effective building practices for the single-family house.
Developed for a vacant infill site on the Near Westside, the proposals and resulting houses will prvde a new vision for one of the city's oldest neighborhood and demonstrate the value of design within a typically undeserved and demographically divers community.
The three winning team wer ARO and Della Valle Bernheimer of New York; Cook + Fox/Terrapin Bright Green of New York and Washington D.C.; and Onion Flats of Philadelphia.
All three homes are currently under construction and will be completed by the Summer of 2010. All homes have already been sold. Home HeadQuarters is now looking to replicate some of the homes in other parts of the neighborhood.
