Building for the Enduring North Shore.
Carbon-negative walls from regionally sourced straw. A collective of trained local builders ready to raise them.
Carbon is a resource, not a debt.
Buildings should actively pull carbon out of the atmosphere instead of adding to it. We manufacture strawbale panels that sequester carbon, provide high-performance R-38 wall assemblies, and keep it local - source straw regionally, hire locally, serve the community.
Precision Engineering. Organic Soul.
Think SIPs, but instead of foam core, the insulation is dense-packed straw. Fast to install, fire resistant, built from natural materials.
Structural Insulated Straw
Panels for a 900 sq ft home were installed in 2 days by 2 people. The rest of the build is conventional - framers, plumbers, electricians don't need to learn new methods.
Fire Resistant
Fire resistant when properly assembled.[3] Healthy to live in with very low VOCs.
Compostable Core
Straw and timber return to the earth at end of life.
Fast Installation
The Collective
A network of builders, designers, architects, and specialists on the North Shore who work together on natural build projects. Not employees - a shared group of skilled people who take on projects as they come.
Builders
Contractors & Carpenters
Local general contractors who install our panels and handle complete builds. We match homeowners with GCs and support them with panels and training.
Architects
Design & Permitting
Designing resilient, efficient homes optimized for cold climates and natural building systems.
Natural Craftspeople
Plaster, Finishes & Timber Framing
Lime and clay plasters that protect the straw core while regulating indoor humidity. Timber framers for structural work.
