Our family lives in this bungalow style home (possibly a Sears catalog home -- Pittsburgh model) in a suburb of Pittsburgh on a PA State road. After 3+ years living in Germany (and the birth of our three children) we developed a greater awareness of and interest in green, healthy living and in modern architecture.
We've lived in this home for over 5 years and while it no longer meets our needs, we love the convenience of the location (can walk to schools, swim club, community center, library, small store) and the open, no-wasted-space feel of our craftsman-style home. We've therefore decided to expand the home to meet our needs and to make a healthier home for our family.
As we've discussed our dreams with family and friends we've discovered a true need for education about and visual and tactile experience with both green trends and modern architecture. We hope to publicize our journey through this blog and by making our home (in such a public location) a visible reminder of all that's possible in the modern Steel City.
