Feature story in SF Magazine

San Francisco Magazine did small story on one of our projects. While it is always nice to get media attention, the article was focused on the green aspects of the design, and not on the design itself. This maybe a minor distinction, but so long as we continue to segregate green from everything else, it will continue to be a fringe thing.

Check out the October issue (just out this week) and see page 163.

Green Kitchen, Beautiful Kitchen

Green Kitchen, Beautiful Kitchen
by Eric Corey Freed


Traditionally, the American kitchen has long been the heart of the home. Once considered a utilitarian workspace, the kitchen has evolved to reflect the importance we place on it. Nowhere else will your home be more scrutinized, used and abused by your family and guests. The wonderful combination of designing for function, social interaction and appearance results in this most popular room in the home usually being the most decorated.

In older buildings, the kitchen reflects some of this history. Pre-war homes hold the kitchen as a food prep area, with the dining room as a formal and separate place. As social mores changed, the entire family became involved in food preparation, and our kitchens evolved in turn. New and increasingly larger appliances fueled this evolution, bringing us to the spacious all-in-one kitchen/living/dining space we all covet during those home shows on HGTV.

Building Green TV Series

Building Green is a television series on PBS. The series chronicles Kevin Contrears and his wife, Mary Anne, as they build their green dream home.

Kevin goes out to interview experts and reports back to Mary Anne on what he finds. They interviewed me several times, and you can see some of that in the clips. It is a great show and you will soon be able to see it on PBS in October.
