 This awesome modern plan was recently built by Rivoli Designs and featured in the 2008 Build It Green! Tour of Homes, hosted by the Office of Sustainable Development in Portland OR. Congratulations on a wonderfully executed project, Ray and Misty Rivoli! To see photographs of the Rivoli Residence, click here. The local newspaper, The Oregonian, also wrote an article about the home. Read it here.
  The Mercer - Plan 1327 This stunningly original, contemporary home brings a chic sensibility to one level living. A long gallery separates the home’s spaces, nearly all of which feature vaulted ceilings.  The Darbi - Plan 21121 Compact and completely unique: this truly singular residence comes complete with high-end designs, judiciously drawn spaces and a sense of style all built-in.  The Mitchell - Plan 1238 Long, low to the ground, and meticulously upscale: this unique, 3-bedroom home is an updated, magnificent throwback to the California Ranch style.

As energy prices continue to rise, and educated through first hand experiences, news, and other media, the American public have become aware of how their lifestyles affect the environment. Two-thirds of all homeowners are aware of green building, and construction businesses building green homes have seen less market decline than the rest of the construction business. As a homeowner, building green is a great way to protect the health of your family, save energy and maintenance costs, and also feel comfort in the knowledge that you are doing your part to protect the environment. As a builder, building green is a fantastic way to improve the product you offer your customers, and also differentiate yourself from your competition.
Green homes benefits:
Satisfaction with green homes is extremely high: over 85% of green home owners are likely to recommend a green home to others.
The total green building marketplace is expected to be worth up to $60 Billion by 2010 (one in ten new building starts),
and in a struggling housing market, green features differentiate your home in the marketplace.
