Construction costs for this green-built residence were less than $90 per square foot. VaST specified products such as Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF), Structurally Insulated Panels (SIP), Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) windows, and Trex® recycled content decking.

The house appeared on the Solar & Green Built Home Tour in 2003 and 2004. Tom Plant, Director of the Center for Resource Conservation in Boulder said of the project, "The LeMae/Vigil house is really one of the best examples of how to use the latest green building products. It's a great passive solar design."

The LeMae/Vigil residence was published in the September 2005 issue of Dwell magazine and has appeared on HGTV and been published in a number of other periodicals as well as two books.
