.the latest in LEED: the platinum home.

arlington, virginia is the home of the first certified LEED platinum home designed by kaplan thompson architects. located in the heart of the city, and within walking distance of public transportation, schools, and shopping, this 3 bedroom house, built by metro green, is the perfect mesh of contemporary design and sustainability.  the space incorporates reclaimed wood flooring, fsc certified decking, xeriscaping, a green roof, solar panels (soon to be installed), geothermal hvac, low voc paints and finishes, and a rain water collection system just to name a few of the great features. as a LEED certified designer, i think this is a very exciting time for future home builders! take a look and follow the links to learn more!
