Mariapaz Fernandez (architect of Taslimi House)

“Tell us about the Taslimi house. As an environmentally conscious brand, we’re especially interested in this LEED-certified project.
The Taslimi house remains a very special project for us. We were very proud to craft a house that achieved the highest level of environmental certifications without losing any of its creative identity. Some of the more notable sustainable features include a gray water system that recycles water from sinks to irrigate the garden; a rainwater cistern; and a natural air conditioning system that cycles air 15’ below ground to cool it off before using it in the house. All the finishes have recycled components and are low VOC. Along with the clients, we also selected all the furniture and fixtures for the house, including many vintage items.“
