With Auburn University's internationally acclaimed Rural Studio, and a variety of associated School 0f Architecture/ Design+Build and Building Science Programs on the cutting edge in terms of sustainability, green awareness, and energy efficiency, it's not surprising to see Auburn architects again recognized for being at the fore of all things design and efficiency related. Yet we're still proud to note that this month's (Jan/Feb issue) of EC0H0ME features Auburn's Lusche Residence, a private residence built by Hinson + Dagg Architects. The Lusche Residence has received the highest marks in terms of the state's sustainability ratings, while still remaining a simple, and lovely example of what EC0H0ME cites as a 'modern, sustainable twist on a rural farmhouse.' To achieve this, Hinson and Dagg (both on Auburn faculty with separate practice) employed age-old siting techniques with state-of-the-art energy modeling. More reasons to look with great optimism to a future of green building, intelligent and integrated building design; more reason to be proud of Auburn University as being home to some of the most progressive design + build programs in the country.full EC0H0ME article at:
