Past Projects
We have already built quite a few homes and we keep pictures and other information around in case anyone is interested in learning more about them.
Press Mentions
Here are some of the places where we have been lucky enough to get mentioned.
Selected Press and Awards
DWELL Magazine
Postgreen Homes and the 100K House were featured in a large spread in the April of 2011 issue of DWELL Magazine, one of the key publications that motivated us to create this company. Check out the article.
Philadelphia Business Journal
The Philadelphia Business Journal covered us early on, half way through the 100K House project. Read more about their thoughts in the article titled "What's small and green and can be built all over?"
Metropolis Mag
Our first major article by Karrie Jabobs - "From the Betsy Ross House to Your House" - kicked off a mini press blitz that we never expected. Karrie is wonderful and so are her kind words.
Treehugger & Jetson Green
We stirred the pot a bit with our "Prefab is not the Answer to Affordable, Modern and Green Homes" post on Jetson Green and Lloyd Alter from Treehugger has this critique on it to follow.
2010 LEED Project of the Year
In 2010 the USGBC bestowed their highest honor in housing projects on us by awarding the 100K House project with the LEED Project of the Year award.
AIA - National Housing Award
In 2011, Interface Studio Architects lumped our first three projects, 100k House, Passive Project and the Skinny Project into one grouping and won a National AIA Housing Award.
