URBAN DESIGN / MERIT Hidden Creek (Urban Development), Omaha Firm: Randy Brown Architects The challenge is to create a new type of suburban development that responds to both the demands of single-family homebuyers and addresses the problematic nature of sprawling cookie cutter housing developments common to most Midwest cities. Each individual house will be designed with green technologies including active and passive solar design, green roofs and grey water recycling systems. The Eco-Village responds to the sameness of the typical builder driven house design by offering 11 different custom architect designed homes. Each plan will be unique based on its location on the site. Furthermore, each house will be designed to allow views to the nature preserve or the tree-lined creek. |
