GreenBy3 Project featured on Home Tour

Landmark Apartments originally constructed between 1922 and 1926.

This spring the Hendersonville Historic Preservation Commission hosted a driving tour of historic homes which were all designed in the 1920s and 1930s by local architect Erle G. Stillwell. The Landmark Apartments, featured on the tour, are notable because they were renovated between 2008 – 2010 maintaining 1920s design details while using cutting edge green building practices. GreenBy3 served as the Sustainability Advisor on this project.

The renovation utilized reclaimed materials (the stamp for Biltmore Forest lumber company was found on the underside of original floor boards). Period features such as transoms, light fixtures, and window and door styles were preserved, but recreated using new, energy saving materials and design.

Solar roof panels provide energy for the building. Indoor air quality was improved through choices of insulation, adhesives, paints, and other building materials that minimize “off-gassing”.

Landmark Apartments are located within sight of GreenBy3‘s latest Hendersonville project, Biz 611. This block of downtown is setting a new standard for building with sustainable materials and practices while preserving the historic character of the area.
