Last year we were thrilled to get great press in France for our time at Solar Decathlon Europe and Domaine de Boisbuchet. This Spring 2015 we had the pleasure of working with Stéphanie Ravillon's French translation class at Brown University, where Brown students translated several of our French articles for our English-speaking audiences.

To the French-savvy students, thanks so much for your hard work, you've helped make the international experience all the more memorable!

You can read the translated articles on our website: http://www.techstylehaus.com/ #2-1-r-Press.-Archive.
