ReVision Energy had the opportunity to work with Kaplan Thomson Architects and a handful of other design companies to construct an office studio in Rockport, Maine. This office studio was a demonstrative project called BrightBuilt Barn. The goal is to use the building techniques used in BrightBuilt Barn to create reasonably priced, easy to assemble homes that use a fraction of the energy of conventional homes. You can view more about this project in the two links below.
