Another house design/building project blog
Posted on | September 4, 2008 |
Michael Downs from Think Usability turned me on to a site in Toronto where the home owner, Jeremy Bell (also a designer, as it turns out) is documenting their environmentally-conscious home design and construction process.
360 Winnett is chronicling their process of tearing down a post-war bungalow and designing a modern, energy-efficient home in the heart of Toronto. The photos of the process are pretty stunning. They’re further along than we are, and it is fascinating to read.

Hello Jeff,
We love reading your accounts and they make us wish we had kept a better history of our current project.
We are 6 to 8 weeks from completing a like minded project.
Passive solar, thermal slab, in floor radiant heat/off peak. helped along with wood burning stove. Ours is a modern farm house, timber frame built with SIPS. We are building in the Martock area and we have mutual friends, maybe they have mentioned us to you. If your interested to visit our future home; meet our very educated builder or have any questions, drop us a line.
Congrats on your leap!
Lisa and Brendan at the farm.

Thanks Lisa!
Julian and Tracy have indeed mentioned your place, it sounds amazing. We’d love to take a trip up to see it some time. Good luck with the final steps.
