A while back, I mentioned The Crib , an “ enviresponsible shelter ” by Broadhurst Architects that can be used as a weekend cabin, backyard office, exercise studio, or guest house — you name it. Well it’s time for a short update from our last article , if you haven’t already noticed, that a 250 square-foot Crib was built on the grounds of the Strathmore in Bethesda, Maryland. It’s being used as a visual arts studio, a lab, and a gallery and is open to visitors during certain events and various other times. The Crib is built as a kit of parts with SIPs (R32 walls and floor) and other recyclable parts from steel and aluminum. The prototype home also has multi-layer polycarbonate panels, insulated glass, heat-treated poplar siding, LED and CFL lighting, an energy-efficient ceiling fan, and rainwater collection for showers and gardening. In process construction photos are available on The Crib’s Facebook page.
