Guest appearance: Jesse Young

We were happy to welcome Jesse Young from Senator Chris Murphy's office to our team meeting this week. It was exciting to share our design and vision with Jesse and discuss the current challenges we are working to overcome.

Meeting With Provost

Just met this week with the associate provost to discuss ways we can improve cooperation with the administration! So glad to have Yale College's support behind us! To help others see our vision we made a 1/2" model complete with furniture, vegetation, and a revised version of our porch! Looking forward to spreading our vision of sustainable design!!!!

Check out our renderings of Yale's Solar Decathlon House! We wanted to emphasize the wooden slats that will provide shade to keep the house cool as well as look aesthetically pleasing. The ramp and garden emphasize the connection of the house to the neighborhood beyond! Full steam ahead for October 2k15!!!!

As our inagural summer activities of making a cooling system mockup draw to a close we just want to make a statement to the world that we are here for good. Maybe. We just #tryna stay fresh.
