Portland Design Competition

AWARDS
2007 Merit Award & Peoples Choice Award

Green Sand Inc. is very pleased to announce that our design has been selected as the Merit Award Winner (2nd Place) and The People's Choice Award Winner for the Portland Courtyard Housing design Competition. Portland asked for courtyards that will help keep families with children inside the city’s neighborhoods. Green Sand Inc. was challenged with designing a space that is family friendly, aesthetically integrated into the neighborhood, and provides environmental sustainable features. With our 100% LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) staff, we felt confident that we could answer Portland’s needs

.

We designed a seven-unit dream home that contains strong family features, safe and private play areas, that utilizes low-cost energy efficient designs such as day lighting and unique renewable onsite energy sources. This design has been published and displayed throughout the city of Portland, with possible funding provided to adapt our design to building sites.
