Upcoming Tour

Join us May 2nd, 2009 for the Decatur Greenfest. Greenfest is a festival recognizing local "green" and organic products and services. The RainShine house is just blocks away from the Decatur Courthouse and will be featured during the festival for its LEED and environmentally-conscious components. The house will be open to the public, and the design team will be present to answer any questions about the house, the systems, the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program or any other aspects of the house. Please email the office of Robert M. Cain, Architect for directions and specifics. We will see you there!
