The Goal was to bring back the original style & charm of this 1917 Arts & Crafts bungalow. Joe used an innovative exterior wall system combined with energy efficient windows that resulted in an air-tight house with a higher “total wall” R-Value for maximum energy efficiency. Inside, Joe mixed local and sustainable materials using zero and low V.O.C. finishes and paints. This warm and inviting home reflects the owners personalities and lifestyle. The home boasts a new professional kitchen, open floor plan and large master suite. See a video tour of the home shot during the 2010 Austin Cool House Tour.
