Wine Cork Floor
Our Master Bathroom floor will be recycled wine corks.
The home will be shown on the Lane County Home Builder’s Tour of Homes July 25 thru August 2 in Eugene, Oregon.
The tour is free — if you’re in the area, come on by!
Cabinets are Being Installed
OK, so this isn’t my best picture; I’ll get a better one. This is a view from the entry looking toward the kitchen (The island isn’t installed yet).
Cabinets are FSC Certified and a deep, chocolate brown. You have to see it in person to really appreciate it.
And… the cork floor is going down in the bathrooms.
Reclaimed Wood Floors – theSAGE
This is a segment of the reclaimed wood flooring in theSAGE. With up to six different species of wood, this floor is made up of wood salvaged from dismantled buildings. It’s been buffed and will be sealed with a very low VOC sealer.
theSAGE has solar
If you’ve been following our construction of theSAGE at the Arbor South Architecture Group on Facebook, you’ll know all the sustainable features we’re packing into 1,447 sq ft.
We’re targeting LEED Platinum and pulling out all the stops. This picture shows the 2KW solar photovoltaic panels. There’s also a solar hot water collector (can’t see it). Super insulation and more.
I’m going to get pictures of the reclaimed wood flooring and post those soon. Its looking incredible!
You can purchase this plan at thesimpleHOUSE. You can also buy this home (Eugene, Oregon) — just contact us.
