This is Day 86 of the Slow Home Project, and we need you to join us in our quest to evaluate the design quality of houses in nine North American cities in nine months. This week we are reviewing the results of our work in the Dallas / Fort Worth metroplex, but today we want to talk about our new website.
The winds of change are sweeping through the Slow Home site today! We are so excited to reveal the new re-design for the web site. Conceptually, one of the biggest steps forward for us is the new mast-head which clearly identifies Slow Home as “a social movement advocating for better designed houses.”
In addition, the Google Map showing the results of the Slow Home Project which has been evaluating houses in Los Angeles, Toronto and Dallas, has the additional functionality like live map updates of the posted projects, new sort functions and the option to read posted comments about the houses directly from the map.
Over the next while, we will be activating even more links on the site that will provide more detailed information on the Slow Home Test, the Slow Home Project and the “What’s Wrong With This House” book which will be available for sale through the web site very soon!
Look for our next post tomorrow as we reveal the winners of the best housing projects in the Dallas/ Fort Worth metroplex as voted by you, the viewers. Next week we are moving on to our fourth city in the Project to evaluate the design quality of new apartment and loft projects in Denver, Colorado!
As always, we want your feedback about what you think of the new look for the Slow Home site. Please send us your comments!
Note: Dallas data is now fixed. We are working on fixing a glitch with the input form so we have temporarily disabled the “Add A House” button. We hope to have this fixed very soon. Please let me know if you find any other issues by emailing me at webmaster@slowhomestudio.com – Eric
