Pueblo Sustainable Solutions L3C Previews Sustainable Housing Designs
/Sustainable Design Intelligence for Pueblo
Today we released a preview of the Casa Verde Model which will be one of several housing designs to become part of a new sustainable community which is in pre-development in Pueblo, Colorado. Our goal is to fold into the conversation the concept of sustainability and what it means for homeownership and the community. We are excited to incorporate our Sustainable Design Intelligence into each and every design.
