March 1st at 5:00 pm was the deadline for entries for Free Green’s Who’s Next home design competition. Contestants from all around the world have submitted designs based on their choice of two different programs. Profile 1: The Starter House. Profile 2: The Not So Empty Nest. For our entry, we decided to go with “The Starter House”. One of the main criteria for the starter home was that it be economical to build.  We took that to heart and designed a home that is not only economical to build, but also economical and exciting to live in. We also took into consideration the ease of maintenance for the upkeep while still providing for a modern and sustainable lifestyle. Make sure to watch the short fly through video below.
The following is a brief scope of the design criteria:

• Economical to build and live in
• Young urban professional
• Planning a family (Definitely one maybe two kids)
• Moving to the nearby suburbs
• Husband is a IT Director (Will work from home most of the time in home office)
• Husband loves technology
• Husband is a technophile and loves his toys
• Wife is a nurse
• Love open floor plans (currently live in an urban loft)
• Want good public schools
• Small yard
• Small home with efficient use of space
• Home needs to be affordable and functional
• Functionality over tradition
• Any amenities should be done in a modern and “smart” way
• The couple wants to do their part for the environment
• As energy efficient as possible
• Home should be built with healthy materials
• They are looking for a home that does not seem to exist in the mainstream today
• 1800 square feet maximum
