NORTHWEST HARVEST HOUSE – A NEW GREEN HOME
HV Engineers is excited to see that Velocipede’s Northwest Harvest House has broken ground. George Ostrow of Velocipede Architects, described the mission of the house to be “a self-sufficient, single-family residence where food, sun, and rain can be harvested on site.”
HV Engineers worked in collaboration with Velocipede Architects to help develop an efficient structure for this green home. George Ostrow will be blogging about the progress of the house on Northwest Home. Be sure to check it out.

NATURE FRAMED: AT HOME IN THE LANDSCAPE
Eva Hagberg's recently published, Nature Framed: At Home in the Landscape, features Domestic Architecture's True House (37th Avenue Residence) along with twenty-four other recent residential projects from around the United States.
The book examines how, “these houses are designed to frame a very particular vision of nature for their owners that brings them as close as possible to nature while remaining indoors.”
