WHAT am I doing?

Hey, my forte is to design buildings or homes and not blogs, and I recognize that, but I'm also looking for ways to impart experiences on this project with others.   So now, join me as I tread lightly on new territory and add comments, criticism, supplemental information, or suggestions on what you'd like to see. 

Here is information on the Home Depot Foundation Award Announcement and more information on the project. 

One Fine Day

On Friday, November 13, 2009, at the Greenbuild Closing Plenary in Phoenix Arizona, the Vista Dunes Courtyard Homes was announced as the winner of The Home Depot Foundation Award of Excellence receipient.  This blog will follow the year-long study in evaluating the successes and failures (maybe there will be 1....?  or 2?) of this project in hopes to provide public information for projects of the future. Any and all feedback is welcome.
