10 LEED Platinum Houses in New Orleans
Sarah Howell, as Project Architect for Williams Architects, designed the prototypes for Phase VI of Project Home Again. These 10 houses were the only in the project to receive LEED Platinum certification. Sarah developed three unique prototypes for the project all of which employed these sustainable design strategies: a supertight building envelope of Steel Structural Insulated Panels (SSIP) by Oceansafe, standing seam metal roofing, insulated windows and glass doors, PV solar panels, a highly efficient HVAC system and low-VOC finishes.
