Kennedy Green House: Designing an Eco-Healthy Home from the Foundation to the Furniture

Robin Wilson

After a flood, the beautiful, historic home of Mary Richardson and Robert E Kennedy, Jr was ravaged by black mould. Concerned about the effects of their home on their family’s health and the environment, the Kennedy’s partnered with Robin Wilson Home to turn their ‘sick home’ into an eco-healthy home - one that promotes the health of the family and the Kennedy’s’ commitment to the preservation of our planet. This book documents the transformation of the home by a ‘Green Dream Team’ from the architectural plans to the eco-friendly building materials and power sources to the health-promoting, energy efficient appliances and furnishings. Along the way, author Robin Wilson provides information and tips on how these changes - large and small - can be implemented by any homeowner. Wilson provides: four-colour photographs documenting the entire process; advice that shows readers the ultimate, mid-range, and low-cost/easy solution to every upgrade; and, a focus on maximising energy, water efficiency, and air quality.
