TS06 - Bike DC: Transit, Health, and Gardens
Saturday, November 21, 1:00pm-5:00pm
Want to get outdoors and cruise the Nation’s Capital? This half-day bike tour led by the DC chapter of American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) will take participants at a leisurely pace through historic, revitalized, and picturesque areas of downtown DC. The first stop is an urban farm and community education center, Walker-Jones Community Gardens, where attendees will experience an outdoor classroom consisting of unique gardens, composting piles, and an irrigation cistern which provide an experimental learning opportunity beyond a typical classroom setting for children in the District. The bike tour will become interactive at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Total Health with touchscreen exhibits and cutting-edge health technology displays. Rolling on to the city’s transportation hub, Union Station, the group will learn about the Station’s new, ultra-modern bike station, and engage in a discussion about how this facility has interconnected various transit systems in DC, making public transportation for visitors and commuters convenient. Biking on to the historic National Mall, a stop at the Smithsonian’s Gardens will surely provide some green inspiration. The biking portion of the tour will conclude at the District Architecture Center where a panel of speakers will further discuss how the District has been transformed by alternative means of transportation. The total biking distance for this tour is 4.30 miles; the total walking distance is 0.60 miles. In the event of inclement weather, an alternate itinerary has been coordinated that will highlight these projects. Thank you to DPR Construction for sponsoring this tour.

PROJECT DETAILS:
The Tight Knot Alder Wood Cabinets were made by Jeremy Hansen, owner of HANSEN'S CUSTOM MILLWORK, La Grande, OR. Jeremy specializes in custom cabinetry and furniture. The Countertop is WILSON ART laminate with Gem-Loc Premiere Edge made of Corian by Loti Corporation, an alternative to the standard laminate edging with square or beveled edges.
The Alder portable Island was made by Jason Hansen, owner of Rouge Fine Woodworking. Jason specilizes in "artistic" cabinets, furniture wood turning. Ginger got the idea from an old garden potting table that was pictured in a Log Home magazine. Dark strips on the maple top are walnut.
Tight Knot Alder was also used for door and window trim, base boards, & stair railing. All wood was stained with Benjamin Moore exterior semi-transpartent siding and deck stain. Howard's Feed-N-Wax was then hand rubbed on all the wood surfaces. The same wax will be used for dusting.
The kitchen sink is a Kohler 'smart sink' because the divider in the middle is lower that normal (about 3-4 inches high) which makes it easier to wash large pans with long handles and long cookie sheets, etc. It was hard to find a sink with only 2 holes (we actually wanted one with only one hole) and this style was about the only one available in a Kohler cast iron and we got to thinking that the smart sink was actually a very practical idea. The other hole in the right corner is for a soap dispenser.
The kitchen faucet is a Kohler pull out. We haven't installed the dishwasher or range yet because we will be moving the ones from the old house.
Pacific Energy near Victoria, BC is the manufacturer of the Cast Iron Wood Stove. It has a stainless steel hollow baffle box with a rear air supply tube to create secondary combustion. Thus far, fire wood usage is about half of what we normally burn. Take a look at www.pacificenergy.net if you have any interest in wood stoves or fireplace inserts. All their stoves are non-catalytic.
Floor tile is glazed porcelain from Home Depot.
The ceiling is 1x6 t&g Tight Knot Cedar that was stained with Benjamin Moore siding and deck stain before nailing it up to the Structural Insulated Paneled roof system by Premier Building Systems in Fife, Wa.
Office Depot tasked us with creating a trade show booth for them at the 2012 Greenbuild expo in San Francisco. The results were pretty impressive. To read more about this activation, visit: boxmanstudios.com/office_depot/

The Green Concept Home is a custom house designed and built by Modus V Studio Architects. This custom home was built with Premier Structural Insulated Panels, SIPs, walls and roofing. Premier SIPs provide a energy efficient and tight building envelope to help get your building to the uptmost green capacity.
2776 square feet of 6" wall panels
2296 square feet of 10" roof panels
This 2,840 sq.ft contemporary house, completed in October 2010, is located in the Greenwich Crest neighborhood in Bellevue, WA. This project aims to implement many concepts of green designs to create a holistic and sustainable way of life, without sacrificing functionality, style, comfort and cost.
The Green Concept Home is the first single-family residence in Bellevue, WA, registered under the internationally recognized “LEED for Homes” green certification program. The project is also registered under the regionally recognized “Built Green” program.
The goal of this website is to share information and our experience in order to encourage more green buildings in the future. We welcome you to tell us your thoughts, knowledge and experience and to join us in one of our upcoming green tours or open houses.
Although many fine “green” demonstration houses have already been built throughout the country, there needs to be many, many more of them, until there are enough so that virtually everyone has a chance to experience them.

"The sustainable components of the Natural Capital Center include 98 percent reuse or reclamation of construction debris (a Portland city record), the reuse of 75 percent of the existing structure, and harvesting 50 percent of the construction materials locally. The building’s wood construction is all FSC-certified, and select interior materials were made from recycled materials such as wheat and rubber tires. The most impressive aspect of this building is the attention that was paid to protecting the Willamette River by controlling all stormwater runoff. The roof was redesigned with an eco-roof that filters and absorbs rainwater. Bioswales around the site also help to filter and absorb runoff from the parking lot and other hardscapes. All of these features added up to help make this building the first LEED Gold rated historic building in the country." - Inhabitat inhabitat.com/jean-vollum-natural-capital-center-renovati...
