135 million homes is such a huge undertaking. It’s amazing how far this sustainability movement has become. Some people really laughed it off at first, but now we have such big plans that will be helping so many people save money!

Great to see you getting so much publicity – I found you through E magazine. If you don’t mind I’d like to include Naomi Beal’s interior photo on my design blog: http://www.one-perfect-thing.blogspot.com. I will credit her and provide a link to your main site.

Thank you.

Love the simplicity and sharpness of the design, but OMG…close to $300.00 a square foot? 700 sq. ft., and the labor, shipping, and site costs are not included? Whoever purchases this has way too much money. Feasibility for even the upper-middle class is pretty much nonexistent. You really need to bring costs down to make this realistically marketable, and in this doom and gloom market, I think most people would laugh (regardless of how green the building is.)Nice to look at though.

Chris – Yes, It is our intention to make the details of this building as available as possible, through the website. We are working on that right now – stay tuned, or contact our firm directly if you are looking for some information in a more timely manner.
Thanks,
Robin

I love the concept and the ideals behind the project. Are there any detailed case studies or reports on the building details that let the rest of us know what was required to create a net zero energy open built dwelling? Are these details to be proprietary? Any info would help. Thanks.

Hi Patricia,

Thank you for your comments. We would be delighted to have you link to our site on your blog and to include a picture of the BrightBuilt Barn. I enjoyed perusing your lovely blog and am even inspired to try my hand at a sugary delight – the Whim Wham looked challenging but well worth the effort! Hope you continue to follow our progress – perhaps we will have a BrightBuilt Barn in the Belfast area one of these days!

All the Best, Robin
