Holiday Party Marks The Open House For Land Bank’s Newly Constructed Home.
Ingham County Land Bank’s annual Community Holiday Party -
LANSING, MI -- Tuesday, December 7, 2010 marks the open house for the City of Lansing’s and the Ingham County Land Bank’s newly constructed modern home located in South Lansing. A gathering will be held from 4:00 until 7:00 pm at the home’s residence to celebrate its completing as well as show-off its progressive features and design.
The home located at 5219 Hughes Road Lansing, MI is the result of collaborative efforts by Vesta Building Industries and the Ingham County Land Bank. Together these companies were able to construct the home using modern building science techniques as well as incorporate both a passive solar and universal design into the house in order to create an extremely energy efficient and accessible structure. These elements together will earn the house a certification from LEED for Homes program of the US Green Building Council.
“We are delighted to hold our December 7th Community Holiday Party in this new home in South Lansing that combines environmentally friendly design and efficiency with universal design for accessibility,” says Eric Schertzing, Ingham County Treasurer and Land Bank Chair of the newly completed project.
The home is wheelchair accessible and has a flexible floor plan made possible by sliding partition panels,which allow the house to change with the needs of the owner. The passive solar design incorporates large glass windows located on the south-facing side of the building with wide overhangs to gather solar energy that is absorbed by a colored concrete floor that is able to manage the temperature of the home throughout the year. The Hughes Road house was also built using Structurally Insulated Panels for the outside shell as well as a high-efficiency condensing boiler that heats the radiant floor and domestic hot water. All of these modern innovations work together to create a comfortable and efficient living space.
The home is currently on the market and will be open to the public for viewing at the upcoming Ingham County Land Bank’s Community Holiday Party. Food and beverages will be available to those who wish to attend the event and tour the house on December 7th.
