Our first “green” project was green by default: an old farmhouse in Texas renovated and extended so as to be “at harmony with the land around” and using local and appropriate materials. A similar approach was taken for a house on Long Island. In 1998 I did not think to call this green, though it qualifies today. Now, we are in the process of designing and developing a 150-acre sustainable mixed-use development on the same family land. Now, we have been asked to collaborate on the design of large-scale multi-family “green” projects with large established “green” firms such as FX Fowle and HOK.

Since 2004, we have completed ten green home projects. In one key project, we designed a spa for pregnant women with environmentally friendly materials such as an FSC-certified veneer reception desk with compressed sunflower seed counter. The aesthetic and material choices were sensitive to organic, natural forms and the precious process of nurturing a baby, starting with the mother. We are a certified green business, working toward our LEED certifications, and green building certifications with USGBC. We are a member of Coop America and as the owner, I am a member of the Environmental Forum of Marin. I have authored two books on eco-friendly design and living, The Healthy Home Workbook, and Organic Baby, both published by Chronicle Books.
