EcoHouse Construction System

Ecological and economical, EcoHouse is a completely new construction system based on traditional rural architecture. The system uses 15% less lumber than standard construction, while exposing the natural beauty of the structural materials. The EcoRoof, EcoWall, and EcoFloor systems are designed to work with our exclusive plansets, as well as other custom home designs.

EcoRoof

Our post-beam-and-purlin roof system is elegantly thin and lightweight. Continuous insulation outperforms standard cavity insulation while eliminating the need for an oversized structure.

EcoWall

Vertical posts and horizontal plates create a large framework, allowing the sanded plywood to be left exposed. The plywood can be finished with a verity of clear or tinted stains, providing a warm, durable, and cost effective interior.

EcoFloor

Featured in our multi-story plans, the EcoFloor uses the same materials and design philosophy as our wall and roof assemblies. Plywood can be used as the finish floor, or covered with your choice of flooring materials.
