Wondering Where to Start?
It's a monumental task to plan, layout, and build a home that meets your personal, financial, and eviromental goals.
Sometimes the most difficult part is taking the first step....
But, what is that first step?
Worried about...
- the 100's of decisions required to design and build your home?
- making costly mistakes?
- which sustainable features to incorporate into your home?
- hiring an architect or contractor who doesn't understand passive solar heating and cooling, greywater, and solar power?
- the cost of building a sustainable home?
- permitting your sustainable home?
Start Here...
...and avoid the mistakes that could cost your thousands of dollars.
Create a Clear Plan
Create a home that is beautiful and comfortable year-round and lessens your impact on the planet.
Learn What Will Make Your Home Sustainable
Include simple, easy-to-incorporate features that will heat and cool your home without pumps, fans, or switches, reduce the water you use, and the power you consume.
Learn How to Permit Your Home
Confidently work with the building department and permitting agencies to get your home approved and built.
"Before I took this workshop, I was intimidated by the process of taking on the project and getting it through the powers that be. Now, I feel a lot more confident about getting my project through the building department."

You Deserve Someone in Your Corner
Imagine living in your sustainable home...
Enjoying a simpler lifestyle, consuming fewer resources, reducing utility bills, and leaving smaller footprints on this precious planet inspire building sustainably.
But, most people don't understand the design process, and they have no idea where to start.
When I decided to build our sustainable home, I was a single mom with two young boys.
I know what it is like to face the 100's of decisions alone.
Once I figured out the first steps, I realized that I was the most qualified person to design and build a home for my family.
And you are too!
Whether you plan on doing it all yourself or hiring a professional builder, we can guide you through planning your home and making sure it's built just the way you want it.
