A message we received from our friend and colleague Pablo La Roche

"As always, we as architects we want to get a big idea across and I think that the
big idea here us connected with Energy that at the end is the source of life, is
that the Greenbaum residence is not simply a carbon neutral building it is
actually a carbon positive building,a carbon cleaner. You have managed by good design to reduce the air conditioning loads to 25% of a Title 24 building and then you use renewable clean energy to power the rest. The house is actually helping our
planet much like a tree does. you are using the great solar resource of the
desert -the sun- to help others! This house helps our planet!"
