    RainShine House: A First in the Southeast

    Decatur Metro | May 1, 2009

    Jetson Green profiles the RainShine House on Wilton Drive and notes that it has received the coveted LEED Platinum certification, “the first modernist residence in the Southeastern U.S. to achieve such a lofty green certification.”

    Also according to Green, the house will be on the Modern Atlanta Home Tour (May 16th & 17th) this year, if you’d like to take a first-hand peak inside.  Or just pop over to the Jetson Green article for a few interior pics of Decatur’s newest “green” marvel.

    Personally, I like this house by itself (and especially in photos!) but take some issue with its lack of sympathy to its surroundings.  But hey, that’s modernism for you.

    Oh modern architecture, why do you hate the gable so?
