Upcoming Event: Seattle Great City Initiative
Join Seattle Great City Initiative for a brownbag lunch discussion led by Owen Richards of ORA and Robert Humble and Joel Egan of Hybrid, as they discuss their winning entry for the 99k House Competition.
Come hear first hand how these local Seattle architects designed a house that is flexible enough to adapt to the changing needs of inhabitants while incorporating rainwater harvesting and a geothermal mechanical system. The best part? - it can be built for only $99,000. This concept was the winning entry in a competition to design an affordable, sustainable house prototype for the Gulf Coast Region devastated by Hurricane Katrina.
When: Monday, June 23, 2008 from 12:00 pm to 1:30pm
Where: Bertha Landes Room, 1st Floor, Seattle City Hall, 600 5th Ave
I encourage all to attend. Cosponsored by Council Member Sally Clark and Seattle DPD, this brownbag lunch is especially timely as Seattle searches for ways to provide quality homes at affordable prices.
