This year, in collaboration with Ridgemoor LLC, we embarked on the challenge of designing a 3400 square foot home, to be built green - and to fit in aesthetically with the popular neighborhood “The Moorlands”, and its classic Clayton homes. This new home, inspired by the work of Addison Mizner, will be the second “green certified” home in the city of Clayton.

The existing home will be torn down, and several of the existing home’s materials will be reused and/or recycled. The existing clay tile roof will be saved for a new home we have under construction a neighborhood away in Claverach Park, and many of the components will be used in this new home as well.
