October 2008
SLHL joined with a team of sponsors to create the first green Showhouse in the St. Louis area. In partnership, the home is successfully green.
SLHL asked our Living Green Showhouse designers the same two questions about their green design inspiration: What piece inspired your design? How did it evolve into your green space?
St. Louis Homes & Lifestyles teamed up with builder Eric Janssen of Janssen Building and Development to produce our premiere Living Green Showhouse at Tapawingo. We’ve asked Eric to elaborate on some of the many environmentally friendly building and energy-saving practices that made this Showhouse green.

Located in the center of secluded beauty yet minutes from the community of Sunset Hills, Tapawingo exudes the meaning of its name: “A Place of Joy.”
