Petrides Homes is a New York City-based designer and developer of residential projects that, last week, announced the completion of Evertson Hill in Millbrook, New York. The 4400-square-foot home sits on 22 acres in Smithfield Valley, just shy of 90 miles north of Manhattan, and offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, 4 wood-burning fireplaces, and an attached barn with a 500-square-foot loft and two-car garage. Putting aside the debate over whether such a large house should be deemed sustainable, the project incorporated a number of significant green design features even though it is not pursuing any formal third-party certification.

Modular Homes’ LEED-Certified Model Home to Debut in Robbinsville, NJ
Modular Homes, Inc. (“MHI”) is an Edison, New Jersey-based custom modular home builder that will break ground in April on what it hopes will be a LEED-certified model home in Robbinsville, New Jersey. MHI homes are built from wood and individual modules are delivered with maximum dimensions of 16’ wide x 75’ long x 14’ high. Homes arrive on site with all finishes, as well as doors, cabinets, appliances, and lights, installed. Modular construction is obviously much more environment-friendly than traditional construction, as individual components are prefabricated off-site.
