The region’s first LEEDrated neighborhood — 100 sustainably designed coastal homes overlooking the San Juan Islands.
This unique neighborhood of 100 homes has been designed in its entirety by Union Studio to be the first LEED rated neighborhood of its type in the region. Situated on 24 acres overlooking the San Juan Islands in Anacortes Washington, this neighborhood has succeeded in providing an alternative for small sustainable design that represents the state of the art in sustainable technology, while preserving the traditional character of coastal architecture that is so important to the region.
Thorough energy modeling and careful administration of the LEED certification process was instrumental in the early design phases – effort that has been more than recouped in payback to the environment and the overall quality of this remarkable place.
