RWA was proud to design the first LEED platinum certified home in Cincinnati and very happy to have it featured in a recent Cincinnati Business Courier article. The piece highlighted that while LEED, which stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, is typically synonymous with very modern, almost industrial aesthetic, it can also be associated with some very warm and traditional design concepts. LEED certification can be obtained no matter what design style you prefer!
