The architects research then apply green practices and products which overlap with the builders efforts as well. The children have a blast at the event but more importantly get exposure at an early age to green ideas like recylcing and energy conservation. Parents too get all this and more reinforced in their minds hopefully affecting their choice of lifestyle. Meanwhile the money generated from the auction gets distributed by the Children's Volunteer Health Network to disavantaged kids in the area. Our country needs more community impacting activities like this one. We’d like to tell people from a participating architectual firm’s perspective that this event truly benefits all involved.

This is an amazing, talented group of builders, as well as community outreach, doing something for an amazing cause. The kids LOVE playing in the houses while they're on display and the adults are fascinated and educated on the latest ECO building technologies. I really enjoyed this article.
