"Forget the Jetson's, this is the house of the future -- a dwelling that killed fewer trees on its way to the neighborhood, saves its owner a raft of cash on energy bills, and rescues the planet with every ounce of carbon dioxide that it doesn't waste.  Take heed, because in decades to come all homes will be built this way.  For the sake of our grandchildren, we simply can't afford to build them any other way."
- This Old House, October 2006


 


Welcome to MyGreenBuildings.com.  This site provides a window into our business, and into our world of sustainable building practices.

At MyGreenBuildings we focus on designing, building and greening Sarasota's highest quality custom residential and commercial buildings.  We design and build new homes, and retrofit older homes using state-of-the-art green building practices, renewable materials and energy efficient design and systems.  We offer light commercial construction - providing ground-up small office and retail, as well as interior tenant build-outs.

You can support the environment and get exactly what you want!

MyGreenBuildings' goal is to deliver a sustainable alternative to typical construction methods for forward-thinking, sustainably minded individuals looking to reduce their own "environmental footprint".   The company uses energy efficient design to help offset building maintenance costs into the future - an in-demand concept for soon retiring baby-boomers.  

One recent Project earned MyGreenBuildings three SEBC Aurora Awards for Green Building and a National Design award from Professional Remodeler Magazine.   The project, built as a demonstration to prove what could be accomplished with green building techniques, received the highest Energy Star rating in the State of Florida.  We are proud to have finished the home in record time, while recovering over 75% of all waste relate to the project.  

We have completed several architecturally stunning homes over the past year - and many of our projects can be viewed on our Project Page - Just click on the tab above.

"Quality vs. Quantity" in Custom Home Construction

We believe that high-performance homes, built with extraordinary quality and design, built to a scale that relates more compatibly with lot size -- are more sought-after now than ever.  As forward thinking architectural magazines like Dwell are featuring, intelligent, higher performance buildings, with a higher level of craftsman quality is where the custom home building industry must be if they are to attract the new breed of custom buyers.  At MyGreenBuildings, we pride ourselves on providing unique, custom quality finishes that are also healthy for the inhabitants.  We obtain the level of finish required by the client through clear up front communication, superior project planning and organization, onsite management, and knowing the difference between what an "A" trade can accomplish, and what a "B" trade is capable of providing.

MyGreenBuildings is focusing a lot of our building efforts in a five to ten mile radius centered on central Sarasota, encompassing the downtown cultural epicenter, the beaches and abundant core natural and cultural attractions of the area. This area is important to us because we want to give our environmentally conscious clients the ability to walk, ride their bikes, or just reduce drive time to get to their favorite Sarasota destinations.

Please enjoy the resources and information within these pages -- and thank you for visiting.
