Date: May 4, 2010 | Category: Green Building, Home Furnishings, The Home
Lookiloos.com and Scene Magazine recently teamed up to profile ecofabulous founder, Zem Joaquin.

Coupled with the in-depth story are incredible photos (by Desiree Northend) of Zem’s Bay Area home, the original ecofabulous pad and the catalyst for her desire to start ecofabulous.com and share her resources.

This is coupled with the addition of another Ray Kappe LivingHomes design, the RK6, created especially for smaller, urban infill locations. (more…)
