Evaluate the article
LEAD SECTION

The lead section seems to be clear and concise and it gets to the point of what the article is about.

IMAGES AND MEDIA

In the construction section the image provided could be places elsewhere and images could be used to show the actual construction methods talked about in that section. For the most part images were laid out in an appealing way however there could be improvements to the layout of the interior layouts. There should also be references to which house the interior images are located in, in the captions.

SOURCES AND REFERENCES

This article relies too much on references to primary sources. The article also relies heavily on one source.

ORGANIZATION AND WRITING QUALITY

Overall the writing is clear and concise with several sections that include lots of information regarding that section. There is a section at the end "Concerns over energy consumption" which needs more information as it only includes one section.

OVERALL IMPRESSIONS

Overall the article is good however there needs to be more sources because it lacks in information that could be used to expand different sections. Using mainly one source doesn't expand on the different sections.
