Last time we took a good look at the ecoMOD house in Fifeville, it had yet to be transformed into the high-concept dwelling designed and built by a team of UVA students. Back then, it was a ramshackle mid-19th-century home that had narrowly escaped demolition. So when it caught our eye this time—looking urban and spit-polished—we didn’t recognize it at first. In this month of thinking green, it’s a welcome reminder that the neglected but worthy can be gracefully incorporated into what’s cutting-edge—sustainable, indeed.
