Building sustainable spaces
We design and build resilient spaces that combine low-tech wisdom with high-tech innovation, prioritizing salvaged and reclaimed materials and aiming to reduce extraction and minimize environmental impact while creating community-centered spaces.
Bring teams and communities together to build spaces through collaboration, shared skills, and support of local supply chains.
Build
Design modular, net-zero building solutions that conserve resources through efficient systems.
Design
Use reclaimed and natural materials to drive affordability as well as extend resource lifecycles and keep usable materials out of the waste stream.

Featured projects
Unity House
Demonstrating an affordable, adaptable approach to sustainable housing, Unity House is a community center built hand-in-hand as a community and locally-scaled for connection and creativity.
Built with two shipping containers as its structural base and a modular living space positioned above, the design integrates a solar system and green roof, greywater system, and high-efficiency passive design to reduce energy and water consumption.
Passive Greenhouse
A sustainable greenhouse with a north wall made from adobe and a stemwall constructed with salvaged waste concrete.
It features an integrated aquaponic system that circulates nutrient-rich water between fish tanks and plant beds, conserving water while naturally nourishing crops. The adobe provides thermal mass to regulate interior temperatures, while the reclaimed concrete creates a durable foundation.
