This blog has been set up to document process and progress on the design and construction of an accessible green home in Oak Park. The project is a response to the Village of Oak Park's request for proposal (see http://www.oak-park.us/public/pdfs/Planning/green_homes/03.05.08_green_homes_RFP.pdf for info).
Today our team is submitting our detailed plans to the Village in the hopes of being selected as a finalist for our selected site. If we are awarded the project, this site will document resources for technologies, materials, and consultants, as well as contruction photos and videos, and comments by the team and the public.
More soon!

About Me
- Tom Bassett-Dilley
- In 2006 I set up my architecture firm to pursue my long-standing desire to create meaningful, sustainable places. In 2009 I learned about the Passive House concept, and realized that it provides a tool for designing site-specific, ultra low-energy buildings...which happen to be very comfortable and have great indoor air quality. In 2010 we completed construction on our first house designed with Passive House principles, and in 2012 completed the first Certified Passive House in the Chicago area. This blog is a chance for me to share what we're learning and to let people know that ultra-efficiency is within our grasp today, both technically and financially.
