#tbt to one of the first projects we completed after getting established in Waterloo Region almost 15 years ago. This complete home renovation took a very fussy traditional interior (complete with wedding cake plaster ceilings) and turned it into a modern, functional and warm space for a family of four. Paying lots of attention to #details and #materials , and playing around with some of the innovative new green products on the market, we used #plyboo (bamboo plywood) for all the cabinetry and shelving including #barnslider doors. #Paperstone counters (a solid surface made from recycled paper and nut resin), VOC free paints and sealants, and high efficiency lighting as just some of the features that went into this rich palette. Exterior walls were gutted and insulated with #icynene foam for superior and non toxic air sealing and dramatically improved R-value.
.
Many thanks to this family who had faith in the new architect in town and gave us artistic license to create what still holds up as one of the finer and healthier interiors in the city.

This is the kitchen/dining area of our octagon shaped straw bale home. We found antique cupboards for the kitchen. After they were mounted, we built custom cupboards/shelves around them with barn board we salvaged. In case you missed yesterday's post, I will be sharing a picture or two of our straw bale home every day this is month. Hoping to inspire those who are building new to consider other options to common construction.

Some of what makes up Sadhana Forest, India.
This is where we're volunteering and living for the next two weeks. We've been here for less than 24 hours and have already met like-minded people from all over the world, including Taiwan, England, Israel, France, Poland, the US, and all over India. It is super hot and humid as hell, but this place is amazing.

The north wall got a lot of clay plaster today. Thanks to everyone who came to help out! This house has truly been a community built house.

Very happy moment for Gowtham and his whole family as they move into their new home! The journey of getting to this moment had so much of learning and experiences. I could only say Gowtham's unparallel passion for getting a earthen structure had made this all possible.
Wishing them a very happy and cheerful stay at their dream home!
