Modern, Green and Not a McMansion

In our area, where ugly McMansions designed mainly to demonstrate the size of your salary are the norm, there aren’t many “green” houses being built and there aren’t many “modern” houses being built. But here’s a subdivision, in Berlin, Connecticut, that aims to be both green and modern.

Mooreland Glen will meld modern design and environmentally sound technologies in 35 "high-performance, low-maintenance homes" on High Road amid natural plantings and walking paths.

The price? Expect to pay 700 grand. From yesterday’s Times.
