Sage Residence / Arbor South Architecture
The Sage Residence in Eugene, Oregon was both designed and built by Arbor South Architecture. The residence, designed as “a super efficient demonstration house” illustrates the firm’s green abilities. In addition to receiving an impressive score of 110 in the LEED rating, the home includes beautiful exteriors and interiors.
More about the home after the break.
The 1,447 square foot residence, which includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, is full of sustainable features. Solar photovoltaic systems are placed on the roof, while a high-efficient electrical heat pump and natural cooling system create a comfortable atmosphere inside. Energy Star appliances in addition to water efficient faucets, appliances and toilets are used while FSC-certified wood cabinets with recycled paper counter tops decorate the kitchen. The floors are made of recycled cork and reclaimed lumber while the double 2×4 framed walls with foam insulation incorporate high-efficiency windows optimized for daylighting.
The home is now on the market for $450,000.

Stop with the HDR “rendering”, pleaaaaase !
What’s wrong with HDR?
Most HDR photos look like Thomas Kinkade got a hold of them. Instead of an appropriate amount of highlights and shadows that lead the eye across the image, everything is so equally balanced. Really distracting to look at.
i like it…
it looks like the architecture showed in the Disney’s movie “the incredibles”
boring…….. this stuff was being made (and further developed now) in australia 10 years ago.
they could have at least made the house attractive.
too cluttered i think. Maybe a few too many materials in the palette.. Also NOT fond of the HDR photos..horrible look
Hello Archdaily!
This project does not meet the standard of an ambitious architecture blog … don’t you agree?
I would expect a more pointed selection of projects on this site … How about: Less is more!
Totally agree. How can this project be publicated in your website?
Is this a decoration site?
As I noted about this project on Inhabitat, this project nicely demonstrates that “green” projects need not look “green” – green elements of construction can easily be integrated into most any design program (most professionals already know this, but most of the public seem not to).
The ambient occlusion in renders,look as draft mode.
don’t kid yourself structurehub…. this house is really quite unremarkable.
Wow, it’s 2004 again, how nice!
My energy Management textbook, The Green Home Primer, tells me the premium for building green is 2 to 5%. At $311 / square foot, the premium seems more like 100%
Those photos using HDR make my eyes hurt Dan.
And you know I how sensitive my eyes are.
And what about my name beside my photos so that your viewers don’t mistake my great photogrpahy for this new stuff.
When are you going to hire a real photographer?
