Cooking Light magazine recently announced that its 2009 FitHouse will be located in Sagaponack, New York; its FitHouse initiative has been ongoing since 2002 and promotes healthy living through a home that features green design, construction, products, and landscaping. Next year’s FitHouse will be designed by Manhattan-based Resolution 4 Architecture as a 3000-square-foot, modern, prefabricated four-bedroom home. In addition to a variety of green features, the house will also include a pool and bocce court. Res 4 principal Joseph Tanney will supervise both design and construction phases of the project and also plans to seek an unspecified level of LEED certification for the Fithouse. The house will include a geothermal heating and cooling system, solar panels, and a graywater system.
