Ashland-based GMT Home Designs was chosen for The Preserve at Oregon, a six-lot development located off Oregon Road near The Oregon Club, from among several potential architectural firms because of the company's commitment to new technologies, including green building techniques and advanced 3D rendering capabilities. 3D modeling and architectural rendering service will allow developers and potential buyers to see the home and the area with photo-realism before it is built.
"We are truly excited about this project and the value it has for Massachusetts homeowners," said GMT Home Designs founder Glenn Travis. "This is the beginning of a wave of green building that will continue to grow in the Bay State and across the country."
“The Preserve at Oregon” provides a unique opportunity for those interested in sustainable living. New homes at The Preserve are ZEH, or zero energy homes.
Zero energy homes produce as much energy as they consume by using electricity generated from a “photo voltaic” solarPV system on the roof. Houses at the Preserve at Oregon are designed to use much less energy than comparably sized new-construction homes. While designed to maximize energy efficiency, these homes also to reflect the traditional farmhouse style New England home, fitting seamlessly into Ashland and the surrounding area.
