New Urbanism in Charlotte | |

Detailing the Sobek House | |

BUILDING THIS WEEK |

|
When New Urbanism was starting to develop in the 1980's, much of the Charlotte, North Carolina, area was not yet conceived; uptown was dying, and building mixed-used areas was "illegal." The suburban model of growth reigned supreme. But times change.

The glass-and-steel R128 House is located on a steeply sloped site with panoramic views of Stuttgart, Germany. Although this house seems sterile and completely transparent, it is a home where comfort and privacy issues for the inhabitants have been met. It is a completely recyclable, emission-free, energy self-sufficient building.
