HEALING THROUGH BUILDING

Constructing a Better World Since 2006

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 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: Prefabricated 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.
