You are invited to the Canon Perdido Open House
With just the last details left on the homes of the Canon Perdido Project, Habitat for Humanity of Southern Santa Barbara County would like to invite you to an open house event on Saturday, November 15th 2014. The project homes are located at 822 E. Canon Perdido Street, Santa Barbara CA 93103.
Designed by architects Ryan
Mills and Ed DeVicente, the units range from 750-1,200 square feet each and are
100% affordable and very low income units. The project includes 2 three-bedroom
units, 8 two-bedroom units, and 2 one-bedroom units, which are all completely
accessible to disabled persons.
Built in line with Passive
House standards, the project aimed to achieve “near zero” energy usage on the
homes by combining passive components such as window placements, insulation,
Energy Star appliances and building wrap with “active components such as solar
thermal and photovoltaic systems. With the finishing touches being added, these
homes will be the first affordable housing development in Southern California
certified as a “Passive House”, and the homes will have a 70-80% reduction in
energy use over the current energy code requirements.
Before the homeowners move in, Habitat for Humanity would love to welcome the community to tour the finished develeopment of the homes and the future homeowners will be offerring tours of their new homes throughout the day! Georgia's Smokehouse gourmet food truck, offering a full menu, will be parked onsite from 11:30-1:30pm.
We would like to thank the donors, volunteers, and community for this joint effort in successfully completing this project and would like to share with the community and those interested in what Habitat for Humanity has been involved with for the past two years!
Please come join us and we hope to see you soon.
