Via the LA Times, we learn about a 3,600-square-foot green residence under construction at 710 Milwood Avenue. From the web site: "The completed home will emit no harmful gases into the atmosphere; solar panels incorporated in the cutting edge design of the house will produce its own energy, rarely—if ever—rely on the public utility system; will be built with numerous recycled materials, including insulation, concrete, counter tops, Forest Stewardship Council certified lumber, reuse rain water to irrigate landscaping, recycle grey water, etc.; will be surrounded by trees to provide shade in the summer and sunlight during the winter." Sounds very tidy. Also, a Ford Escape Hybrid, the official automobile of project7ten, will be sold with the house. But how much does the home cost?
