  • Pinon House Renovation: A Modern Home that Conserves
    One of the best ways to have a green home is to renovate-- and by reusing as much original material as possible, you can reduce the amount of virgin material necessary for construction. This beautiful renovation of a mid-century modern house by <strong>Erik Sommerfeld</strong>, from the3rdspace, and Rob Pyatt of <strong></strong> in Boulder, Colo. is a great example of resource conservation and modernization. The original concrete block and plate glass home was failing structurally due to poor soil conditions-- and in need of some serious repairs. However, rather than tear the Pinon House down to the ground, it was shored up and reworked to make the house comfortable, livable, and eco-friendly.
