Committed to Kinder Building
Eco-friendly designs with affordable flexibility
HEALING THROUGH BUILDING
Constructing a Better World
We make panels, ADU housing, and home performance upgrades that heal and reconnect people with the planet. Our work is all about realizing our vision: The creation of healthy spaces and a just, safe planet for all people for generations to come.
We prioritize sequestering carbon with our prefabricated straw panels, providing affordable ADU housing, design and consulting services so every project reaches its best potential, and improving and updating the existing housing stock to provide healthier efficient homes for our community.
HOMES WITH A LIGHT TOUCH
Casitas: Predesigned ADU Home Kits
The concept of “Home” is always evolving. As ADU builders, our Casitas offer a low-impact, high-performance option for expanding your home for family and friends or creating infill housing for your community. Our ADU homes are also an achievable starter home or a healthy option for downsizing.
STRAW PANELS FOR SUSTAINABLE COMFORT
Meet your Eco Goals with our Panels
Whether you’re designing a high-performing, climate positive home, or expanding your community, we believe eco-friendly housing should be an accessible option for everyone. Our carbon-sequestering prefabricated straw bale panels will help your project reach its climate goals.
