Award Winner 1383 Ryan Avenue Cindy & Ward Schwie The Project: Cindy and Ward Schwie have done updates to nearly every part of their home and property in the last few years so that they now have a nearly completely renovated home and yard. And they have done all of it with an eye toward the environment and sustainability: • Whenever possible, they reused or recycled materials – the kitchen fl oor used to be a gymnasium! • They dealt with the age-old problem of asbestos by employing a certifi ed company to remove and dispose of it. • They integrated smart technologies to maximize their improvements by installing a Nest Learning Thermostat and a water recirculating system.
