DESIGNING IN SUSTAINABILITY

Here are 2 charts (© 2010 Build It Green) that simply portray how good design is key to creating comfortable, efficient, sustainable homes and buildings. For further information go to www.builditgreen.org/

UNCOMMON BREWERS / Santa Cruz

Uncommon Brewers,  www.uncommonbrewers.com,  in Santa Cruz has significantly expanded their brewery in Santa Cruz, CA. And their line up. Three of their tasty ones: Golden State Ale,  Siamese Twin, and Baltic Porter.

Why showcase Uncommon? Kumaran Design was brought in by the brewer Alec Stefansky to join Daniel Shermis, Shermis Construction, to facilitate this tenant improvement design, construction documents, and permitting. Including a tasting room. Kumaran Design does commercial, too!
