What we learned at our Open Wall Open House
|
 |
This past weekend we welcomed 45 people to see and learn how different a future friendly Zero Energy home is from the homes most of us live in. We gave a presentation explaining why that difference matters, and how we achieve such high performance, and with the walls open we could show how the home is built.
Here's what we learned together, including a link to a video of the presentation content

Help us find our next Architect
|
 |
We have a special opportunity for the right architect. Do you know someone who might like to work together with us designing and building homes that matter. Someone who loves working with people to create homes that fit. Even better, someone who would value the chance to share ownership of our worker owned company.

Trade Spotlight: Joe the Plumber
|
 |
We love working with Jack Manafort and the company he works for, Joe the Plumber. When we are planning a project we review the plans with Jack to assure we’ve thought everything through carefully. We listen when he suggests a product or strategy because he knows the ropes (or should we say pipes!).
When it comes time to execute the plan, we also know that Jack’s man in the field Wayne will show up ready for action and stick with it until the work is done, and done carefully. That attention doesn’t stop there. Should there be a problem down the road, or a need for service, the company is staffed to handle it promptly. That kind of reliability is just what we are looking for with the people who show up build our projects.

There is no way to have a good relationship designing and building a new home without talking about money, how it’s spent, and what it buys. We call this having our eyes wide open, and it is essential that the journey to design and build a new home is guided by this awareness. Here we list the essential elements to be valued and paid for.

The Dear Familiar Gods of Home

This poem from May Sarton conjures something deeply meaningful about how our homes satisfy something fundamental in our lives over time.

Your Guide to Designing and Building a Better Home
|
 |
We're in the Better business. This is your mobile friendly guide to designing and building a better home. It walks you through the ways in which we think and build differently to create homes of lasting beauty that harvest the sun to produce as much energy as they use. It describes both the process, and the results: barefoot comfort, health, durability and energy security that you just can't get building for the world as it was. It's an invitation to Build Better.
