Avocado-painted walls in the living room are just one obvious sign that the first home of the Holy Cross Project is categorically green.

Designed as a model of sustainability for New Orleans and the Gulf Coast, Global Green's Holy Cross Project is a prevately funded mixed-use residential development and one of the first new home construction projects to be built in the Lower Ninth Ward, one of the most decimated areas from the levee failure after Hurricane Katrina.
