Eden Eco Design

State-of-the-Earth

Modern development practices are consuming the Earth's natural resources at a rate faster than they can be replenished. Our current high standards of living will not last much longer if we continue to clearcut ancient forests, over-harvest the oceans, pollute soil and water with pesticides and squander our fossil fuels. A new paradigm must emerge.

Sustainable methods of manufacturing, agriculture and building are increasingly being recognized by business leaders as a way to reduce environmental impact, maximize efficiency and increase long-term profitability. By utilizing natural materials and intelligent processes that mimic the inherent balance of ecosystems, we are now able to provide consumers with products, services and communities which ensure rich and healthy lifestyles for the generations to come.

Materials

Selecting durable natural materials is one of the most important aspects of building sustainable and healthy homes.
Locally harvested wood - This reduces carbon emissions associated with transport. It also allows us to select suppliers who responsibly manage forests, as opposed to supporting clear cutting.
Non-toxic finishes - By using paints made from plant oils and bees wax varnishes, we avoid 'sick-house-syndrome' which is largely caused by vapors from chemical finishes.
Recycled Materials - Wooden beams and flooring can last hundreds of years and we are often able to rescue them from old building and incorporate into new constructions.

Eco Arch Design

Arches, the strongest shape in nature, create comfortable naturally lit homes that are extremely energy efficient. The secure structures withstand wind, earthquakes and flooding. Insulated steel and aluminum roofing sit on a concrete earth sheltered foundation. Interior post and beam construction provide support and warm interior spaces. South facing homes capture free natural energy; using passive solar walls, solar panels and wind turbines to power the house.
