Eyebrow or Awnings on Your House in Cincinnati?
May 31st, 2009 categories: Architecture, Real Estate News
This week has been consumed by travel time and while in Florida to attend real estate meetings, we took a few days to visit Key West Florida.
While riding the Conch Tour Train I was introduced to the “Eyebrow Houses”. The concept of dropping the roof line low enough to block direct sun into the second floor rooms seems to be an easy way to reduce heat in the summertime.
The locals in greater Cincinnati may not want to drop their roof lines quite that low-however we may want to consider some additional overhang which allows light and reduces energy consumption.
