MATERIALS MATTER

Building with Earth-Friendly Materials for a Healthier Home

Our commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of our work, starting with the materials we choose.

From locally sourced wood to environmentally conscious finishes, we prioritize having a climate-positive impact, aiming for material solutions that contribute to a healthier planet, better indoor air quality, and a longer-lasting home.

  • Straw Insulation

    Straw is a renewable resource that draws down atmospheric carbon and sequesters it, while providing superior insulation for enduring comfort and a healthier planet. Check out our FAQ on common straw insulation questions to learn more!

  • Local Vermont Lumber

    Harvested sustainably in Vermont, our local lumber not only ensures quality but also reduces carbon emissions through fewer transportation miles, promoting a resilient, eco-conscious building approach that supports land-based economies.

  • Wood Fiber Insulation

    Sourced using sustainable forestry practices in our Northeast bioregion, wood fiber insulation ensures eco-friendly comfort. Its renewable nature and low carbon footprint align with our commitment to responsible, climate-conscious building practices.

  • Clay & Lime Plasters

    Our plasters are made from abundant clay and lime, which require minimal energy to produce. These breathable, toxin-free finishes promote healthy indoor air by regulating humidity and preventing mold growth, resulting in a thriving home.
