The present Chestnut Hill Property was built-in 1983 like a \u201cSolar House\u201d having a couple of large home windows around the south side and deep set openings in thick exterior insulation over concrete block. The resulting interior spaces were dark and cold.<\/p>\n
Sited on land which was initially a part of an estate designed by F.L. Olmstead Affiliates in 1909, the home was bought in 1996 by Mitch Kapor, founding father of Lotus Development, who made several minor modifications handled by Mark Remedy and Anne Snelling-Lee, designers at Leers Weinzapfel Affiliates at that time.<\/p>\n
Due to their previous knowledge about the cool house, the newest proprietors were known to Snelling-Lee and Remedy, who, like a sl galleries, ongoing to collaborate on complex commercial and residential projects after departing LWA. The owners\u2019 growing family and fervour for eco-friendly design mandated an entire reappraisal from the interior spaces as well as their link with the website, in addition to technological upgrades to strengthen the house\u2019s original mission and also to make an up-to-date sustainability statement.<\/p>\n
