DONALD A. GARDNER ARCHITECTS, INC. ANNOUNCES GREEN INITIATIVES

Greenville, SC - Donald A. Gardner Architects, Inc., one of the nation's leading
residential house plan designers, announces two new environmentally conscious
initiatives-a free guide to building green and house plans on recycled paper.

"We recognized demand from consumers as well as our builder customers for
environmentally sensitive business practices. We are doing our part by printing our
house plans on recycled paper and providing our customers with tips to make
environmentally friendly choices as they build their new homes," said Lex Stapleton,
the firm's senior architect and portfolio manager.

Because any set of house plans can be built in an environmentally sensitive way,
depending on product choice, site analysis and landscaping, the free guide to
building green provides valuable information on all aspects of environmentally
conscious building practices. The free guide will accompany every set of Donald A.
Gardner Architects, Inc. house plans sold and will be available on the firm's
website at www.dongardner.com/green.

The recycled engineering bond paper that the house plans will be printed on is
created from 30% post consumer waste and creation of the paper requires 60% less
energy to make than virgin paper.

Specializing in the design of single family residential homes, Donald A. Gardner
Architects, Inc. offers award-winning pre-designed home plans, modification services
and technical support for builders and homeowners, as well as marketing/public
relations assistance for industry professionals. For more information on the
