To encourage residents to build greener houses, Phoenix is offering free design and construction plans for HOME nz, a three-bedroom sustainable residence designed by Marlene Imirzian & Associates Architects.
HOME nz was the winner of Sustainable Home Design, a 2017 competition by the City of Phoenix and AIA Arizona that called on architects to develop a design for a near net zero house that would be adapted to the hot, arid climate and be attractive, affordable, and have the potential for widespread adoption. The winner took home a $100,000 prize. The competition fits into the city’s goal to require all new buildings to be net positive, generating more energy than they consume, by 2050.
