*Provident [prov-i-duhnt] foresighted, well prepared, prudent, visionary
Designing and building a new home and the remodeling of a home requires a time-proven design approach that truly works for all lifestyles. This is especially important for the uncertain future that lies ahead of us all. Homes should be designed to accommodate this future. They must provide healthy living conditions, provide safety, accommodate aging, be energy efficient, and easily use renewable energy. They must be durable, be easy to maintain, be affordable, be beautifully uplifting and create comfortable living conditions indoors and for outdoor living. They must be functionally efficient, accommodate local climate conditions, the neighborhood and natural surroundings, allow rain water collection, the growing of food, fire resistance and more.
LaVerne will share and answer your questions about how Environment Associates’ “Design for LifeTM” has created efficient, affordable homes where their owners are able to lead the life they desire, whether it is self-sustaining, community oriented, or whatever.
LaVerne’s provident design of “Houston’s Passive Solar Demonstration in 1979” was toured by over 30,000 people and launched what is now known as the “Green Building” movement for Texas. Winner of the top green building awards nationally and locally several times over including several USGBC LEED Platinum & Austin’s GBP 5 Star awards, LaVerne and Environment Associates, Architects & Consultants, inspire excellence and transformative design as we transition into an uncertain future.
