Racine LEED home shows Modern Minimalism is Green
September 29, 2026 :: Posted by - Jason :: Category - Single-Family Projects
AES has certified another LEED Platinum home in Wisconsin, this one in a picture-perfect spot on the west shore of Lake Michigan in Racine, Wisconsin. The Scekic-Osborne home is a three-bedroom, 1900 square foot residence — an example of the recent trend of home sizes retreating to more reasonable levels rather than the McMansions of yesteryear. The home, designed by Johnsen Schmaling Architects of Milwaukee, mixes modern architecture with a growing design trend known as “micro architecture,” which places a premium on petiteness, design and sustainability.

In fact, it's one of the highest overall point totals ever achieved for a LEED-certified home.
