Inhabitat - GREAT GREEN HOME: Carter Burton Yoga Studio: "What yoga does for the mind and soul, this thoughtfully-designed yoga studio does for its lucky green-minded inhabitants. Situated outside Washington DC in Clark County, Virginia, and designed by Carter Burton Architecture, the small scale structure serves as a yoga studio and guest house for Annie and Paul Mahon’s main house 100 feet away. Despite its compact 600 square foot footprint, the studio packs in the best of the best of green technologies, from SIP-based construction to geothermal, passive solar, locally-sourced materials, green roof, and LED lighting. The clients’ and designers’ commitment to sustainability earned the project a LEED Gold certification when it was completed in 2007."

carterburton_Yoga Studio: "This couple, both practicing Buddhists, bought Studio Loggerheads from Burton. Paul who loves modern design was Hugh Newell Jacobson's lawyer in the early years. Annie founded and continues to operate a yoga studio for adults and families in Washington DC, and is interested in using yoga as a therapeutic modality for healing anxiety, depression, and other physical and emotional challenges. The couple has renovated many projects over the years in the city and has come to appreciate good quality design and craftsmanship. The couple found the property in a DWELL ad which affirmed a love of modern design that was shared by the parties involved."
