Another Great and Green Design by Renowned Architect, Michelle Kaufmann

In some exciting news, FLOR is part of a new, green exhibit at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry.  The “Smart Home:  Green + Wired” exhibit, which runs from May 8 through January 4, 2009, is another cool product from the famed sustainable architect, Michelle Kaufmann, and features FLOR carpet tiles in the home.

Michelle Kaufmann, who is widely considered “the defacto queen of prefab architecture,” specializes in building green prefab modular homes.  Her firm designed the three-story, modular home with sustainability as the focus as a way to show how accessible green living and smart technology can really be.  Read more on Michelle Kaufmann's blog.

FLOR was excited to join the project because it reflects our environmental views of reducing waste, conserving energy and keeping homes free from harmful chemicals. 

The Smart Home is generating plenty of buzz in local and national media, including a couple of Chicago Sun-Times articles talking about the Smart Home and FLOR's contribution.

Here is a glimpse of the Museum’s Smart Home, but be sure to visit the exhibit and the museum resource center in person to get the full appreciation.
