Danny Forster design The Omena Lake house in New York. He combines sophisticated energy modeling software and basic common sense design strategies that create a contemporary sustainable home. The goal is to connect its residents to the dynamic site on which it sits. From thats goal the house designed with easy-get material like the interior ?oors which made of rapidly renewable, locally harvested bamboo. The counter-tops are richlite, made from recycled newspaper. The house is equipped with compact ?uorescents, low-?ow ?xtures, two button toilets, and energy star rated appliances. The façade of the building is clad in vertical cedar. 60% of the home is wrapped in an Ipe-clad rain-screen, used both for solar de?ection as well as passive cooling.
