New Harmony will be a "BUILD IT GREEN" sustainable residential project to be constructed in Davis, California. After having participated in visioning gatherings with local residents, Kuchman Architects is collaborating with a variety of other consultants in the development of meaningful and responsive design solutions. The dwelling units have been oriented to take advantage of the prevailing delta breezes for improved air quality and the passage of the sun across the southern sky to brighten the interiors. Some of the Green elements being considered for New Harmony include photovoltaics, permeable paving, rain water bio-filtration, and geo-thermal heating. It is anticipated that construction will begin in 2009.
