This Intexure Architects Office Home is a harmonious combination of an efficient commercial building and a comfortable living space.
Built on a site that was previously a landfill, the building is almost exclusively composed of materials from within a 500-mile radius of the site -- something that drastically cut down on the carbon footprint of its construction. Furthermore, the building is ideally aligned to make the most of natural sunlight and heating. The building is so eco-friendly that it has earned a coveted LEED rating for an urban lot.
