Creating spaces with a timeless aesthetic that blend beauty and function seamlessly
Creating spaces with a timeless aesthetic that blend beauty and function seamlessly
In 2016, my husband and I made the decision to build a new home for our family. As I delved deeper into "green" technologies, I discovered that many energy-efficient solutions often involved the use of toxic materials. While I found professionals specializing in Net Zero and LEED design, I struggled to find anyone with expertise in creating homes that were both healthy and energy-efficient. So, I pieced together resources and learned as I went along, which ultimately set me on the path to design. Energy-efficient homes, with their tightly sealed structures and reduced ventilation, can trap off-gassing chemicals from building materials and products, leading to increased indoor air pollution and potential health concerns. My design philosophy prioritizes organic materials over man-made alternatives, and I believe it’s crucial to make mindful choices about the materials we use in our homes. As a result, I avoid products with "proprietary" formulas that don’t disclose their ingredients, and instead focus on low-VOC materials, proper ventilation, and moisture control.
