The edition of the NINE open house will showcase the sustainable elements of the townhomes and the architect will be on hand to discuss and have viewable samples of sustainable techniques and materials.  As a bonus, the first of a continuing series of specific sustainability discussions, we will have roofing specialist Lauren Wakefield on hand to present sustainable roofing types and answer any questions you may have on the subject.
 
We look forward to seeing you there.
