sections, floor plans, elevations, site plans Roc's comments: Back in the late 70's we experience one of the cyclical oil fuel crises and the Carter Administration decided to shake some ideas out of the crazies in the back woods as we were at the end of the pipeline and it was in our best interest to come up with inventive alternatives to expensive fuels. The Feds thru the AIA research organization, DOE and HUD invited us to design a single family house using alternative heat supply and delivery systems. Harris Hyman and I were given the Northeast and specifically Binghamton, NY as our site. Binghampton is the city with the lowest number of sunlight hours in the Northeast. Harris and I decided, after a few cocktails, that we would design a building that required no outside source of energy beyond the sun and a small wood stove backup for eccentric moments. We were flown to St. Louis and spent a few days presenting and defending our concepts with teams from other regional areas of the US. Our design, and particularly the engineering approach was quite a hit and the jury after much debate accepted the design with commendation but nothing was ever done with the work after the conference ended.
