Greenest Little House in America – Oakland

Built deep into the DNA of Canyon Design Build is a commitment to sustainable building and creating homes that meet our clients’ expectations for energy efficiency and healthy homes. In this renovation of a 1915 craftsman Bungalow, an Oakland family garnered the highest LEED for Homes (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards. This home was featured in the magazine Metropolitan Home. In the article, written by Peter Hellman, he states: “the house was outfitted with the latest energy-saving appliances and windows as well as with 16 solar panels to provide electricity and hot water. They also created a highly sophisticated conservation system that recycles wastewater from sinks and baths for landscaping.”  We welcome conversations about how we can make your project more sustainable.
