Building Resource Efficient, Healthy Homes

Tour an Award Winning Built Green Home

03.29.2010 | Posted By: Casey | Back to project updates

Robin and Annette Holcomb, project homeowners, built this home with a commitment to “living light.” The lot was selected for its environmental advantages and infill location. Located blocks from Fairhaven- one of Bellingham’s most active commercial centers, community parks and trail, and transit lines; the Holcomb’s will be able to walk, bike or bus to nearly all essential services. The Holcomb’s also wanted to strive for energy independence. While it is not a Net Zero home, this house has been designed for that potential with no fossil fuels used onsite.

As one of Bellingham’s green building pioneers, Aiki Homes welcomed the commitment of the Holcomb’s to energy and water efficiency, sustainable resources, and community education. All facets of sustainable building have been applied to this project. It has been touted a model for green development.

There are many features that make this home unique, including the first permitting rainwater harvesting system in the City of Bellingham, a solar Photovoltaic System on a unique infill lot located in charming Fairhaven. 

Subcontractors and others will be on hand to answer any questions.
