Energy-Wise Remodel: Oakland, CA
When Judi Ettlinger and Carl Gardeman began remodeling their Oakland home in 1999, they made energy efficiency a top priority. The project initially involved expanding an unfinished area at the back of the house to include a family room, laundry, guest bedroom, half kitchen, one and a half baths, and areas for exercise and study.
Contemporary Green: Berkeley, CA
Architect and homeowner Chris Parlette transformed a tiny, nondescript house into a light-filled home that’s energy efficient, spacious and stylish. He gutted the 800-square-foot pre-war building and reused much of its structure, but the home is “99 percent brand new,” he says. Adding a second story allowed Parlette to double his home’s square footage while only expanding its footprint by 50 square feet.
