Light Bright

When Susan and Rich Walther decided to retire in a walkable urban neighborhood -- instead of the suburbs -- they bought an 1,800-square-foot row house in Baltimore. The couple wanted an energy-efficient, green home with tons of light, but they also required that the technologies and features be integrated seamlessly into the house. To accommodate the owners' entire wish list, the architects chose a variety of products, materials, and systems that were instrumental in giving the clients the green home they wanted. Because row houses are dark by their nature, the architects employed a variety of clever ways to make the space bright.
