The style synthesizes aspects of gothic architecture with Spanish, Italian, and Flemish elements.

Active solar - Active solar is a term which refers to the use of solar energy to "actively" convert the energy in sunlight into other forms.

Microstation - MicroStation is the platform architectural and engineering software package developed by Bentley Systems, Incorporated. Among a number of things, it generates 2D/3D vector graphic objects and elements.

Scagliola - Scagliola (from the Italian scaglia, meaning "chips") is a technique for producing plasterwork columns, sculptures, and other architectural elements that resemble marble. Batches of pigmented plaster (ground alabaster or gypsum) modified with animal glue are applied to molds, armatures and wall planes in a manner that accurately mimics natural stone and marble.
