Two Liquid Design projects win Green Awards

Green Design is alive and well at Liquid Design. The proof is in the Awards. Two of our projects won Charlotte Business Journal Green Awards 2009 last Wednesday. The first project is the Element Homes on Craig Ave. This project won the "Green Land Development Project of the Year" award. Our Client, Cobalt DBS has taken their custom construction experience and our Earth-Green Design Solutions and created an enclave of 7 distinctive modern homes in a unique residential infill solution that includes a 25% tree save area and are Energy Star Rated.







The second project is the now famous Celadon Condominiums. This project won the "Green Multifamily Project of the Year" award. Our Client Origin Development has worked non-stop to ensure that every detail was addressed as the project's green features took top priority. This one of a kind modern design condo community has a full range of our Earth-Green Design Solutions, from a large tree save area attached to the city's greenway system to instantaneous hot-water heaters. Celadon's units are also Energy Star Rated. One of our favorite green features in Celadon is the Apple Blossom Insulators "Nu-wool" insulation. Great stuff, not only for it's "R" value but a wonderful product as a sound barrier. Origin's James Funderburk worked with Cox Landscape Management to create a exterior environment that is easy for the HOA to maintain and friendly to the eye and to the earth.
