Stimulating Green Building
Whether you think the recently passed stimulus bill is good for our country or not, there are some provisions for green building and renewable energy.
The economic stimulus bill supports green building priorities to the tune of $79 billion, with support for energy-efficiency, renewable energy, and green transportation projects.

East Prentiss Avenue Residence
This project was a renovation and addition to a 1920’s bungalow in an historic neighborhood in Greenville, SC. The existing house had 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and many small disconnected rooms on the first floor. The second floor was entirely in the attic, and was built out as a rental unit with exterior access of the back deck. We added a full second floor with 2 new bedrooms and a new bathroom with a loft area at the top of the stairs. The small second bedroom was opened up into the kitchen and breakfast room to create a new sitting room. A master suite was created by combining the hall bath and larger bedroom. The laundry room on the first floor was made into a half bath and a new laundry room was created on the second floor. The completed house has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms.
