Homes for Life: creating healthful, durable, extraordinarily energy efficient dwellings & homeplaces that delight & nurture life, finances & security, presented by LaVerne Williams, AIA, LEED AP, Nationally Renowned Architect for “The Houston Height’s Integral Urban Homestead”. It’s all about creating healthy homes & homeplaces as oases which are capable of providing 100% of your water and energy needs, some or most of your food organically, and where allergies, among other health issues can dissipate. Some of the topics covered: using free natural resources , creating sustainable lives and resilient homes, and designing and building for a healthy life.
The recently occupied homeplace in the Heights (“The Houston Height’s Integral Urban Homestead”) is a private residence that demonstrates all of the above. Instead of the usual cradle-to-grave environmental nightmare that homebuilding usually creates healthful, beautiful, durable, and extraordinarily energy efficient dwellings & homeplaces can be created that delight & nurture life, finances & security…..while also for rest and recuperation from our increasingly unhealthy and stressful urbanenvironment.
Those who strive for sustainable and resilient lifestyles can use their home as the place where they can capture and use renewable energy and water resources, grow their own food organically, and by so choosing, have a homeplace that is designed and built to provide beauty, durability and the efficient use of resources while improving their health, surroundings and community.
