Ingrid's green home tips on Porch.com

Ingrid was recently interviewed on green home building for Porch.com’s Architectural Resources: Tips from the Experts. “When building a green home, most people tend to think of all the additive items typically associated with sustainability, like solar panels, water-efficient plumbing fixtures, and rainwater collection. These are all great options that add performative value to a home, but starting with a bigger picture and looking at passive strategies can significantly impact the overall carbon footprint while enhancing the residents’ wellbeing. Passive strategies have the added benefit of contributing to a great experience within the home and enriching our day-to-day lives.”

Ames House selected to be on ATX Modern Home Tour!

Ames House completed in 2020, has been selected to be on the 2021 Austin Modern Home Tour Austin!

When viewed from the street, this home appears to be an ordinary tract home like its neighbors. However, upon entry, the Ames Room-like illusion is revealed, and one experiences a collection of carefully composed architectural volumes that transform one's perception of the generic 1980’s house into a unique light-filled, modern home.

Enjoy this year's all-virtual tour from the comfort of your own home Saturday, March 6th! Matt and Sarah will lead you through a tour of the residence and tell the unique story of this project and answer questions.

Our tips for small space design on Redfin Blog

For their article, “Building a House with Minimal Space”, Redfin reached out for our tips to maximize small spaces. Here’s what we said: “In order to make the most of a small space, first, adopt a loose fit for the program by creating flexible spaces with openness and connectivity between them and allow functions to overlap between one space and another. Second, embrace the site by strategically opening up to the outdoors with the careful placement of doors and windows, which can perceptually increase the size of a space. Third, consolidate circulation and back-of-house spaces to minimize or eliminate corridors and carefully integrate stairs, bathrooms, and storage.”
