About Me

Stephanie and Adam Freeborg: Stephanie and Adam Freeborg are the first tenants in the 2005 SNAP house. The SNAP House is owned by Blackland Community Development Corporation (BCDC). The mission of BCDC is to preserve and enhance the residential integrity of the neighborhood. Toward that end, BCDC fosters development of housing, economic, health, recreation and education projects. BCDC presently has about 25 percent of the single-family units in the neighborhood. BCDC purchased the SNAP house from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005, after the students presented their home in Washington, D.C. for the DOE Solar Decathlon competition. (Please check out the post titled "Social History" to learn more about the previous life of this home.) This home is now being used as an energy generator by sharing it's solar electric and thermal with a 1930's home (Harden House) that resides in the front of the lot. Stephanie, a recent graduate from the University of Texas at Austin, Master of Sustainable Design program and Adam, is a seasoned carpenter will be living in the home for the first year to record the energy that is generated, work on unfinished projects, and give tours to the local community.
