Mueller Redux
Check out this video tour produced by Jill Leberknight of Keller Williams Realty! We designed this LEED certified home for the Parade of Homes at Mueller in 2009. This beautiful, urban craftsman cottage is
a prime example of luxurious sustainable design. The home boasts a five-star
plus rating in Austin Energy’s green building program, as well as being Gold
NAHB rated and Platinum LEED certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. Set
in a development leading the way for sustainable design as a community, it is
no surprise that the home features a myriad of energy saving elements and was
awarded Best Overall Green/Sustainable Home in the Parade. Some of these
elements include fully foam encapsulated insulation, LED lighting, tankless
water heaters, LoE2 glass, Energy Star-rated appliances, American Clay Earth Plaster,
recycled bark and cork finishes, direct vent fireplace and highly energy
efficient carrier unit HVAC systems. The home was also awarded Most Unique
Green Feature for a natural gas refueling station in the garage. Almost any
vehicle can be converted to run on this CNG (compressed natural gas). The home
succeeds in combining the elements of architectural beauty and design with
energy efficient resources and systems to create a truly unique habitat in the
Mueller community.
