What is the point of this blog?

I have a unique perspective towards the design of homes and gardens.  The goal of this blog is to give prospective clients a chance to understand my approach to design without even meeting me, and to share things I’ve learned with anyone else who is interested.  

Disclaimer - While some of these topics may relate to homes elsewhere, my entire career has been focused on the design of homes and gardens, and the performance testing of homes in our tropical climate.  If you are in another part of the country you should find a nerd who has spent their career studying your unique climate.

Dark roofs in Miami are a bad idea. Remember the shocking wave of heat when you get out of your car in a freshly asphalted treeless parking lot? Now imagine building your house with that black asphalt. In Finland it’s cool, in Miami it is du
