A House That Adapts
A House That Adapts
The current standard method of framing and building houses no longer serves our needs. We believe a home should be able to adapt and improve over time.
Our residential construction systems, based on platform framing methods, have not changed significantly in 140 years. These stud-framed houses fight with their modern mechanical and insulation systems and are impossible to change without demolition.

This breakthrough, patented system separates the functions of the exterior wall into three distinct zones.
- Skin and Insulation;
- Structure and Mechanicals;

Central Core
Central Core
The central, masonry core of the home is not only beautiful, but purposeful:
- It acts as a heat sink in winter, providing interior thermal mass.
- All of the spaces in the house are centered and oriented by the core.
Our goal is to provide:
- A meaningful, beautiful place for living
- A compact footprint to fit on any site with minimal impact
- Connection to the environment
- Lower operating costs and high performance on many levels
- Flexibility to change
In short, we are committed to BUILDING IT FORWARD.
