Project7ten, located in Venice, CA was the first conventionally-constructed LEED Platinum home built in California; It was a collaboration of green Developer Tom Schey, Architect Melinda Grey, and environmentalist Kelly Meyer. It was built as "green" as possible to serve as an educational forum, and through further collaboration with Healthy Child was opened to the public with over  3000 people walking through in the month of October.

Healthy Child became involved with project7ten in order to:

-Help the public learn about healthier practices, solutions and products in the marketplace

-Encourage daily action and informed lifestyle choices, expecially avoiding harmful toxic exposures

-Create standards and policies for products, foods, materials and chemicals used in the home - promoting safer options and new alternatives

-Advocate for and support corporate policies that encourage healthier and more sustainable living

Melinda Gray —a highly credentialed and widely admired architect in both design and environmental awareness — created an example of exquisite, modern design exemplifying that being green can also entail looking great, while not compromising the environment and/or atmosphere. 

Project7ten was a great teaching tool to change the current mindset of home builders and home owners alike. It provided a fun, friendly, easy-to-understand, cutting-edge message: A home, its inhabitants, and its relationship to the piece of ground it sits on, are one entity, interrelated.
