Recent Projects

Rue/Evans Home
Our latest project --a custom home that is now complete and has received final Passive House Certification -- the first new house on the West Coast to do so.  This home features an advanced framed double-stud wall system (over 12" total thickness), triple pane windows, an energy recovery ventilation/distribution system, solar hot water system, and an extremely tight exterior shell (.20 ach50 on our latest test). 

These customers have documented the process in their blog.


McNamee House 

A custom modern design located in West Salem that evolved after many meetings and discussions with the customers, and roof-line and exterior detailing input from Nathan Good.  It features advanced framing, exterior insulating sheathing, spray cellulose wall insulation, dual ERV's, custom site-milled cedar siding, solar thermal hot water system, a mini-split ductless heat pump and a masonry heater.

Opal Creek Commissary
This project involved the rebuilding of a commissary building originally built by the Amalgamated Mining Co. in the 1930's at Jawbone Flats, in the Opal Creek wilderness area.

The original building was carefully disassembled, and the stockpiled materials were incorporated into the new structure, complete with an extensive photovoltaic array, micro-hydro system, and large battery bank.

Oregon Field Guide visited the site during construction, and it is available for viewing online.

Visit Opal Creek's website for more information (and for renting a cabin!)



  Pringle Creek Cottage
  The first cottage at the Pringle Creek Community was built for the developers to  showcase many of the potential components and techniques that might go into a home in this community.  It features an advanced wall system, photovoltaic panels, solar thermal, rain water harvesting, a community tied geothermal heat pump, and was the top LEED-H home in the country at the time of construction.
  We have just recently finished our second home in this community, and it too is set to receive LEED platinum certification, and was completed for ~$160/sq ft.
