We identified and remodeled a discarded space originally built in 1917. We built our walls using recycled steel studs saving a forest of trees. Our floors are recycled cement. Almost all of the paint was unwanted “ooops” mistakes. A majority of our fixtures (doors, windows, sinks, ductwork, etc.) were saved from landfills through a local non-profit that accepts and resells unwanted building materials. We use compact fluorescent lighting, Bosch Tankless Water Heaters, aerated low-flow shower-heads and HE washers to reduce our daily utility demand. And we are committed to using and selling organic products that are environmentally responsible (and they are less toxic and so much more effective). The best part about our being “green” is that these things didn’t cost more to build and they save us money every day.
