“<br />
The counter top in the master<br />
bath was made from a product<br />
called Vetrostone, which is a<br />
mixture of oyster shells and resin.<br />
We found it in Yemassee, SC.<br />
The powder room has natural<br />
grass cloth on the walls, and the<br />
lighting fixture was handmade<br />
at Low Country Originals, from<br />
reeds collected from the May<br />
River.<br />

~Arlene Flick<br />
Flick’s home will continue to afford them benefits and save<br />
them money over time. Lower utility costs are the most immediate<br />
reward, as bills are reduced by as much as 30% on a<br />
monthly basis. Indoor air quality is greatly improved, as properly<br />
sealed and ventilated spaces inhibit mold growth and allergen<br />
issues as well as better consistency of temperature and<br />
humidity throughout the rooms. Later, if and when the Flick’s<br />
decide to sell and relocate, the Earthcraft certification will<br />
prove to entice prospective homeowners in what is proving to<br />
be a rapidly growing market for green building.<br />
As the Southeast’s answer to the need for clear, eco-friendly<br />
guidelines for renovations and new construction geared toward<br />
saving energy, water and improving air quality, Earthcraft has<br />
certified more than 30,000 units in 15 years. Cost effective,<br />
efficient, resourceful and sustainable, EarthCraft promotes recycling<br />
and the use of rapidly renewable materials, effectively<br />
conserving natural resources and protecting our ecosystem.<br />
Savannah-based Becky Lynch of Lynch Associates Architects<br />
and her LEED-accredited partner, Andrew Lynch, are<br />
knowledgeable about the use of sustainable technology and<br />
materials. With an architecture and landscape architecture<br />
background, Becky was able to guide the Flick’s environmentally<br />
responsible project with the voice of experience. In combination<br />
with the expertise of Richard Best Custom Homes, the<br />
finished product is a study in comfort, ecological mindfulness,<br />
and of a job well-planned. DB Written by Tracey Buckalew<br />
