JD Scott’s ‘Greta House’ Awarded for Leadership in Sustainable Practice by AIA Santa Fe
Congratulations, JD Scott 🎉
AIA Santa Fe Honors Leadership in Sustainable Practice
We are proud to celebrate JD Scott, Principal Architect and Director of Practice here at B.PUBLIC Prefab, for receiving the Leadership in Sustainable Practice Award from the AIA Santa Fe.
This award recognizes Greta House, a project that exemplifies environmental responsibility, innovation in sustainable design, and long-term stewardship of natural resources. Designed by JD, Greta House is a compact, high-performance home that brings together Mid-Century Modern ideals with Passive House-level performance. At just 1,300 square feet, the project prioritizes affordability and replicability through prefabricated assemblies, durable materials, and efficient systems.
Named in honor of architect Greta Grossman, the home reimagines the resilient 21st-century tract house. Shaded courtyards, a solar-powered carport, and a strong connection to outdoor living extend the footprint, while fire-resistant detailing and drought-tolerant landscaping address the realities of a changing climate, particularly in the American West.
JD’s work on Greta House reflects what we value most at B.PUBLIC Prefab: thoughtful design that makes high-performance, low-carbon housing more accessible. We are grateful to work alongside a leader whose practice proves that sustainability and beauty can go hand in hand, and whose vision continues to push the field forward.
Congratulations, JD. This recognition is well deserved.
