When a New York couple decided to renovate their Harlem row house, they had no idea the project would turn into a green design version of an Amish barn raising, with various elements of the green community pitching in.
Publicized by Dwell Magazine, the project gained attention from designers and companies eager for exposure; Kohler, NYLoft and Runtal donated dual-flush toilets, formaldehyde-free cabinets and radiant heating, respectively, and a group of Pratt Industrial Design students answered a Craig's List ad offering to design the couple's office.
Though this project reached its zenith last May, when 700 people toured the house in a Dwell-sponsored event, it seems to have kicked off a trend of the Green Show House, which you can read about here.
