We are excited to announce the launch of Net Zero ICONIC Home, a year-long conversation about Living Beautifully and sustainably in a zero-energy home. We’ve partnered with AFT Construction to take you on a journey of Inspiration, Education and Motivation around sustainable design and living, and we’re giving you a front-row seat each month to see the progress and what it takes to develop a net-zero home. Stay tuned for content, social media coverage, videos and special events as we bring this home to life.
A net-zero home is a lot like an elegant custom home…only better…better for the residents, better for the environment, better for the planet. A net-zero home is so airtight, well insulated and energy efficient that it produces as much renewable energy as it consumes annually. Plus, design decisions made inside allow for temperature management with minimal energy, water conservation, air purification, healthy natural light exposure and sustainable, natural, healthy interiors and products in the home.
ICONIC LIFE is a luxury lifestyle magazine that celebrates the art of Living Beautifully with features on exceptional design, architecture, style, cuisine, luxury travel.
“My talented team publishes fresh, original content daily, curated for a sophisticated, luxury-loving audience. And we amplify those stories through our highly engaged social media following, our robust community of subscribers and our ICONIC HOUR podcast. We celebrate luxury and design in our glamourous quarterly print edition.”
Dee’s nearly 25-year career in publishing and marketing, her inspired editorial direction, her passion for stunning imagery and her heart for giving back are the pulse of the magazine.
AFT Construction is making great strides thanks to the diligent and focused work of its remarkable staff. They are intently focused on providing their customers with the continued exceptional services for all of their construction needs. AFT rose to the top because of the team’s quality, values and customer service,meeting project expectations.
AFT was honored to be selected to construct Net Zero ICONIC Home based on the company’s growing influence in sustainable building, and emerging leadership in that area. Additionally, Laliberte wanted a firm who had the marketing muscle to really get the message out and promote building science and sustainable practices.
Laliberte has dedicated more than 30 years to building and providing builders, architects and manufacturers with an in-depth look at the current and future state of housing. His work has earned him a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Energy and Environmental Building Alliance, where he developed the highly acclaimed “Houses that Work” lecture series.
LaLiberte believes that a high-performance home is one with great indoor air quality, remarkable energy performance, beautiful aesthetics and no durability issues, and ultimately a net-zero annualized carbon footprint.
Cosan Studio was founded on the fundamental belief that life is constantly changing and that design must adapt and change with it to stay relevant. The team at Cosan Studio helps clients along the pathway to understanding and enjoying the benefits of thoughtful, well-designed structures that not only are beautiful, but also have the ability to stir emotions and invoque a reaction. They strongly believe that buildings can and should live lightly upon the surface of this planet we call home.
Fueled by a passion for elegant, sustainable design and collaboration, Cosan Studio’s dynamic team works together to bring each project seamlessly from concept to completion. It is their collaborative process that separates Cosan Studio from the rest. They look forward to the unique opportunity to be part of a team of industry-leading organizations working together to complete the Net Zero ICONIC Home. This project will pave the pathway for continued growth in sustainable development.
