OK, so I finally got an iPhone 4S and have been dying to try out creating a video with my phone only using the iMovie App. What better excuse than today’s groundbreaking at our First Steel project at 1703-05 N. Howard St. Yes, it’s very corny, but I will not apologize. Check it out below or by clicking this YouTube link. Please also check out the project page or past blog posts on First Steel if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
This project is the best value of any project we’ve built to date. Just my opinion, but you really should consider buying one if you don’t already own a Postgreen Home.
I recently realized our Press page on PostgreenHomes.com is woefully outdated. I spent the last two days doing my best to update it and now I am posting about it so you can all know how hard I worked on it and to make me feel better for ignoring everything else for a day.
I went ahead and added a “Selected Press & Awards” section at the very top to highlight some of the stuff we’re most proud of surprised people have honored us with. Next we move on to Awards. Did you we won some AIA awards with our architects, ISA? Philadelphia Weekly even named us the “Best Rockstar Architecture Firm” which is pretty cool even though we’re not architects.
Next is our TV section which I added some nicely produced Web videos to also. The people that have createdwebvideos have done amazingwork with the crappy material we gave them and they deserve to be recognized. If you haven’t seen the videos, check them out and then dive into their other work, because it’s pretty amazing stuff.
Then we get onto the normal stuff. Much updating. Many apologies to those that have worked hard on pieces with us and that have been missing for a while. If you know you’ve written something on us and don’t see it here, please bring it to my attention and I will add it pronto.
We thank everyone who has taken the time out of their day or week to talk about what we are trying to do in Philly. We are honored and we are not worthy. Thank you.
Our friends and cohousing development partners at Indy Hall created a new video to showcase the communal shared kitchen that will be built into the upcoming K’House project. Unlike us, they have access to fancy video equipment and professional video editors so it came out a bit prettier than the average PGH video. Check it [...]
It’s been a while since we launched the original marketing video for our Avant Garage project. Well, we’re half way through with the project and looking to complete the final two homes in the next 2-3 months if all goes as planned. It seemed like a good time to update our project overview video. Check [...]
Occasionally, we feel the urge to revisit some of our old ideas and see how they sound after having been knocked around by a few years of reality. Fortunately (or unfortunately), many of those old ideas are enshrined in the 100k Archive. This makes it pretty easy to drag them kicking and screaming into the light [...]
Happy New year folks. We laid off the blogging for a bit during the holiday season, but are back and hard at work. Look for a lot of project and finish option updates to hit the blog in the coming weeks… This is an old video we stumbled across while cleaning up some of our [...]
