Red Tree Builders-Alair Asheville's Green Haven Achieves Excellence
Red Tree Builders-Alair Asheville takes pride in the recognition bestowed upon its innovative home, Green Haven, honored with Green Builder Media's prestigious Green Home of the Year Award for General Excellence. This award acknowledges the exceptional standards of sustainability, resilience, and advanced technology that Green Haven embodies. The home has set a remarkable precedent as a model for luxury living integrated with eco-friendly solutions.
Highlights of Green Haven’s Sustainable Design
Brandon Bryant, the president and owner of Red Tree Builders-Alair Asheville, expressed enthusiasm about this achievement. “This project provided us with a unique opportunity to challenge the norms of sustainable homebuilding. By collaborating with architects and our dedicated design team, we aimed to construct a home that not only showcases innovation but also harmonizes with the natural beauty surrounding it.”
Advanced Technologies for Energy Efficiency
Green Haven, an all-electric home, is part of an agrihood focused on sustainability, boasting 1.5 miles along the river. Every aspect of this dwelling has been thoughtfully designed to enhance energy efficiency while ensuring a seamless connection to nature.
The sustainable technologies integrated into Green Haven include:
- Geothermal heating and cooling systems that provide efficient climate control.
- A bespoke solar and battery system featuring high-quality solar panels and inverters promoting energy independence.
- Smart energy management via a span panel electrical system for real-time monitoring.

Judges noted, "Red Tree does a commendable job of merging luxury with sustainability."
Resilience in Real-World Situations
The resilience of Green Haven was demonstrated during a challenging weather event. When a hurricane hit the vicinity shortly after completion, the home’s energy systems—solar power and battery backup—ensured it remained operational, offering refuge to neighbors during a power outage. This incident underscored Green Haven's outstanding capacity to provide safety and sustainability.

Looking ahead, Red Tree Builders-Alair Asheville remains dedicated to sustainable building practices. “Winning this award motivates us to continue raising the bar,” Bryant mentioned. “Each new project serves as a chance to enhance our methodologies, adopt innovative technologies, and create homes that combine beauty, functionality, resilience, and forward-thinking designs.”
