 THE
FARMHOUSE: EVERYTHING OLD IS NEW AGAIN
By Heidi V. Anderson
She calls it her blue jeans house.
It's all about comfort. Open and full of light. Easy to
clean. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter. And--something
important in Boulder, Colorado--it's dog friendly.
It's also an environmental masterpiece. The Farmhouse (http://thefarmhouse.org/)
is a model for anyone wishing to build a home that works with the environment.
It's composed almost completely of bio-based, energy-efficient, recycled, and
re-used materials. As the designers and architects note, The Farmhouse
"borrows energy from the sky and ground."
