Unlike a traditional open house hosted by real estate agents giving tours of a completed building, a behind the wall tour occurs during construction to show a work in progress. The October 4th tour exposed the “deep green” components of VIDA, Isola Homes’ 15 unit row home development in Seattle’s Central District.

VIDA’s behind the wall tours were led by members of the project team including, Brian Byrne (Construction Manager) for Isola Homes; Dana Stream (Sustainable Lifestyle Consultant), Michael Cleveland (Green Building Adviser), and Steve Davis (Environmental Home Inspector) of Lifestream Solutions; Jay Miller (Managing Broker) for Alchemy Real Estate; and Eva Otto (Managing Ecobroker) at Infiniti RED.

In addition to a tour of the various building biology components of the building design, Stream was available to discuss VIDA’s community development program.
