The Green Building
The Green Building in Louisville, KY opened in the Fall of 2008 in the heart of NuLu.
Renovation of the 110 year old masonry structure, a former dry goods store, was commenced by owners Augusta and Gill Holland in spring 2007 when they decided to become the first commercial building in Louisville KY to go for LEED platinum certification (the US Green Building Council's designation of a sustainable building). The 15,000 square foot mixed use facility will house a street facing café called 732 Social from James Beard nominated Ton Brothers, The Green Building Gallery, event spaces, and an indoor-outdoor courtyard at the rear complete with a green wall vertical garden. The second and third floors house office studios.
See the pictures from our amazing architect Doug Pierson from ferstudio to learn about all the green, environmentally friendly steps undertaken for this green building!
