In February Rock Row received the Slow Home Award for "Best Townhouse Design" in Los Angeles out of 150 entrants. Slow Home is a movement founded by John Brown and Matthew North of Calgary Canada advocating for better designed houses. They visited Rock Row and put together a wonderful video of the project:

According to their website:
"Over 60% of houses are badly designed. When the fundamentals are wrong, even houses that look good on the surface can have a big environmental footprint and be difficult to live in. It’s time to become a little more streetwise about residential design. Learn how to tell the difference between a well designed slow home and a poorly designed fast house. It will help you to better understand your current home and make more informed real estate choices in the future."
Here at Heyday, we couldn't agree more!
