Green Home Design - Free!

Freegreen
FreeGreen - Suburban Loft

I’m an Architect. About half of my practice is designing homes, however things are about to change.

FreeGreen is a new online design firm that has a unique Web 2.0+ approach to their service. They provide free home designs. I just downloaded construction documents for two of their homes and the documents are first rate. For many of my clients what FreeGreen offers is what they need. And did I say Free? Really, Free. I’m lucky to also be an industrial designer because FreeGreen just might put me out of business.

Over the years many people have come to my office with a set of plans found in a book or online and they ask if I can “Green” the plans for not too much money. (This process is bound to fail for more reasons than I can go into here)

With FreeGreen you can get good quality green home plans free. For an additional fee you can have them customized to suit your needs. You will probably need a site plan for your unique site to add to the very extensive set of construction documents FreeGreen provides. I would also hire FreeGreen to consider passive solar options based on your particular site.

FreeGreen makes their money through their online community, which I encourage anyone interested in Green Building to join.

I believe the world would be a better place if all buildings were designed and built like the homes available from FreeGreen.

    Of course green design does not necessarily have to mean an architectural style that is severely modern. I would love to see more green homes produced and premanufactured homes that are just a bit more recognizable in form and material.
