Post Green Homes (www.postgreenhomes.com)

Out of Philly. They did the $100k home (www.100khouse.com). They seem to have the same philosophical underpinnings that I am seeking given that they are going for the affordable subset and seeking to be at the cutting edge of sustainability and energy efficiency. Unlike many MANY of the other companies that have been highlighted so far, they are (a) on the east coast and (b) actually focused on urban infill projects.

Check this link for the actual spec on the 100k project. I think this is a good prototype to learn more about. I'm curious as to (a) what extent the design of the home captured neighborhood context, (b) what the envelope was made of, and (c) the specifics of their finishes (appliances, etc.). Pay special attention to the "Underlying Concept..." section on the bottom.
