Coming Home: Chronicling the (re)creation of the JP Green House A Grist Special Series

Series Intro

In the spring of 2008, Ken Ward and Andrée Zaleska bought a house. Not just any house: a dilapidated neighborhood store in need of some serious love. The pair, along with their respective children, are working to make the JP Green House a zero-carbon, sustainable building—and a demo home that will be open to the public. Follow their adventures in the story index at right.
