Here are some photos of my friend's new LEED certified building in Westlake (Seattle). All passive cooling with a lot of natural light, open space and an atrium/courtyard. Check out the door handle wrap.

Cool wrap, that color looks better on a building.

Great building.

I'm gonna build a cob home. passive solar, local clay and sand and on site rock and timber. recycled or hand made doors and windows. roof will collect rainwater for use.

couple other projects in front of that one. ;)

That's a great looking building. You know it's design probably makes your time spent there that much more enjoyable. It reminds me very much of a building I saw on the Carnegie Mellon University campus. I wonder if it's the same architect.

The bar tape is a nice touch. :p
