Gottfried Green

Although we are just outside of Sarasota the fact that there is so much green/sustainable building so close creates a great resource. At the Link, the Herald Tribune focuses on the library and a fire station built green. "Brown, ...a LEED-accredited professional, designed the North Sarasota Public Library, which was completed in November 2004. Asked what green building means, he said, "It shows the public that it can be done and that it does make sense. Until someone does it, it's difficult to get the paying public to recognize that. The county acts as an icebreaker for sustainable architecture. People follow behind -- builders, developers and homeowners."
That's exactly what we are trying to do for the homeowner and these represent to us great hands-on learning tools. We won't have the budgets these projects had but any representation provides valuable information of what's possible (and what most likely we won't be able to afford).
