The forefront of built environment sustainability.

The challenge was to create a net-zero housing development offering fifteen free-standing homes in the quickly developing Emeryville/Oakland border without compromising quality and sustainability, the homes offered an affordable solution in response to the housing shortage in one of the most expensive and saturated markets in the world.

Placing emphasis on 4 of our now 5 pillars, we were able to create one of the most sustainable and energy-efficient residential developments in the United States.

Our parking lot features a permeable surface that allows rainwater runoff to collect in an underground, stone-filled basin. It then slowly percolates into ground water sources instead of being diverted into the city's drainage infrastructure.
