Up on the roof at LEEDing Edge
Here's more on the LEED Platinum offering at 546 Edgewood Avenue:
I've touted the city skyline views in previous posts. Now architect/builder Michael Fletcher has sent me the above conceptual showing the view with a rendering of the green roof terrace. The roof is already a key component of this residence because it catches rainwater for retention in a cistern on the ground floor. With the green roof terrace the footprint of this urban infill project is recaptured as a premium amenity, providing a private respite 4 stories above the amped city life of the Old Fourth Ward. The white surface and vegetative roof cover will help to keep the interior cooler during Atlanta's hot summers. Refer to journal entries I see a black roof and I want to paint it white and Green Acres Over Atlanta for more on the subject of white/green roofs.
Also wanted to officially announce that the sales price for LEEDing Edge has been reduced to $489,000.
Here's a new rendering Fletch just sent me. For the green roof area he's looking at a local company that provides a system of interlocking 46" square growing modules. He's thinking of reserving at least one of the modules for the owner to use for a little local food production. The square modules would lend themselves well to The Square Foot Garden method.
In my last update I mentioned square foot gardening as an ideal solution for the owner who wants to grow a garden on LEEDing Edge's roof terrace. Here's an introductory video on the concept:
