A meeting of the Minds

I recently traveled down the unspeakable 5 freeway to San Diego to meet up with a colleague and friend I met through the Vista Dunes.  Rather than The Fountainhead version of design, Vista Dunes utilized a bit of collaboration through Design Architect, Studio E Architects.  As Eric Naslund and I caught up on recent projects, I asked if there was anything he would like to specifically evaluate in this study.   I could almost say the response simultaneously as he noted "Yes, do they use the vent towers"?  We did not get any "credit" for those in LEED-H or in California T-24, but the idea is that they help the natural ventilation and add more daylight to the living space in the units.  More to come on that topic.
