ARCHITECTURE + NATURE.
WORKING TOGETHER IN HARMONY

Urban sustainability is the new ellipsis for living large, otherwise coined as “location location location.”

Our location adds one other important aspect worth mentioning for an eco-friendly lifestyle- the synergy of The Mews with the Los Angles River. Throughout those hot summer days, the river provides us with a constant breeze.

PASSIVE COOLING

This is a natural way of saving you money in cooling costs since our homes are designed to capture and utilize this river breeze, and all breezes for that matter. Although the jury is still out on exactly how much solar energy our panels will provide toward your daily needs, it is important to remember the house itself works to cut down electrical needs by allowing this breeze from the river to flow freely throughout your home- so the usage of central a/c would still be far less even without solar energy.

CLERESTORY WINDOWS DEMYSTIFIED

Clerestory windows are the perfect solution when it comes to maximizing these air currents. Acting as “vents,” they allow cross-currents throughout the home, while still bringing in lots of light.

As the floor to ceiling windows flood the rooms in natural light (cutting way back on electrical consumption), your home by design, utilizes nature to ensure your a/c needs are kept to a minimum.

URBAN SUSTAINABILITY TO THE MAX

Throw in the fact that our solar energy system is integrated with your hot water heater and backfeeds to the meter selling power back to the electric company, it becomes crystal clear that a Mews house hits all the right marks for eco-friendly living that saves you buckets of money, with this added bonus- location location location.
