Construction

Houses Built to Wear In,
Not Wear Out

NEW BUILD

We use cutting-edge building science combined with low technology solutions to deliver comfortable, high-quality, energy-efficient living structures. We utilize low-tech solutions like Light Straw Clay to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of our buildings. Our dedication to technology-driven innovation ensures that each new project aligns with our goal of constructing homes that conserve resources while serving their occupants and the environment.

REMODEL

Our remodeling division focuses on resource efficiency through the reuse of existing structures. Our strategy includes deep energy retrofitting, eliminating the necessity for additional resource extraction. Acknowledging that the carbon emissions from the initial build have already taken place, we utilize the existing carbon footprint to drive enhancements. Our objective is to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings in a practical manner that blends reclaimed materials with modern comforts and aesthetics.
