In keeping with our overall mission for the project, our goal has been to utilize contemporary, effective building materials both inside and out. All materials have been selected to promote human health and to reduce environmental impact. For each material this translates into accounting for its internal properties, considering its long-term durability and longevity, and understanding essential cradle-to-cradle issues. Through a thoughtful selection of materials, we aim to produce a comfortable, energy efficient, delightful dwelling that might serve as a model for twenty-first century design.
