sustainable stock plans now available!


Well, the day has finally arrived. I have uploaded the first of our small, sustainable stock plans for sale. theFERN has four variations, from 1,024 to 1,056 square feet (hey, i said “small”)  and with or without a garage or master suite.

These plans are unique in that they are designed as sustainable from the get-go. They are also going to feel much larger than they are. And, we’ve pulled out all the stops on green products and sustainability. You can decide just how far you want to go with green, sustainable features.

sustainable AND affordable?

So… I called today on a great-sounding product. It’s a countertop material made entirely from 100% recycled beer and glass bottles. 

It’s $125 to $175 per square foot.

If this is made from “garbage” stuff, why so expensive?
If sustainable isn’t affordable, it isn’t truly sustainable.
