Grow Community has been honored with a coveted "Green Home of the
Year Award” in the "Best Community Project" category for 2014 by Green
Builder magazine.
In
a feature headlined “Holistic Homes,” the magazine praises Grow for
“connect[ing] health and happiness with sustainability” through every
element of design and construction.
The
magazine highlights Grow’s advanced framing techniques, weather-tight
building envelopes, and locally sourced solar products among other
distinguishing features. Grow is already the largest planned solar
community in Washington state, with a solar component also planned for
the next two phases, the Grove and the Park.
An expert panel of
judges considered nearly 40 projects on criteria including overall
sustainability, resilience, affordability, synergy with the environment
and surrounding neighborhood, and depth of building science employed.
“Our
winners combine the best of tradition and technology — homes of great
beauty that are also resilient and flexible,” the editors write to
introduce the awards.
Jonathan Davis, architect for Grow’s first
phase, the Village, tells Green Builder that all the principles of One
Planet Living on which the Village was designed supported the goals of
health and happiness.
“When my kids go out the door, I know they’re safe,” says Davis, now a resident of the Village.
