Green

You are currently browsing the archive for the Green category.

Yesterday, I attended an open house of a new condo development in Charlottetown…and for a small town of about 40,000, this condo looked like it should be in downtown NYC. The architect that designed these condos creates sustainable, artistic and urban living…with that wonderful feeling of open spaces. The typical design is a lower level that is open with an upper level loft bedroom and a staircase to a roof-top patio/garden. It is a rennovated building, so he has maintained the solid woods.

The condos are tapped into the green energy plan which is powered by wind and the biofuel infrastructure from the city…so it is green and good and beautiful. About 10% of PEI’s energy is produced by wind farms located on the eastern and western tips of the island.
