Mobile Bay Green Inspiration Home
Our Green Inspiration Home, presented as Mobile Bay magazine's 2021 Inspiration Home, celebrates a healthy coastal lifestyle and a healthy environment, with beauty and style.
From a sustainable home design to landscaping that’s both elegant and eco-friendly, Fairhope’s first ‘Green’ Inspiration Home showcases a variety of features that highlight the exciting ways we can build – and live – smarter and more sustainably in South Alabama.
As designer and architect on the project, Watershed was proud to partner with some amazing local professionals to create a durable and resilient home that allows its occupants to live luxuriously next to nature while reducing their environmental footprint.
The pollution avoided by the Inspiration Home’s rooftop solar array is equal to planting 2,528 trees, or taking 31.6 vehicles off the road. Also notable: The home boasts a 72% energy use reduction, 16,400 gallons of water saved per year, and 9.5 tons of CO2 pollution prevented each year.
