Currently Featured Projects The Craftsman Cottage Style home shown below achieves significant energy savings through efficient green building design and construction. For example, during a very cold Iowa winter, from October 2005 through April 2006, the cost to heat the entire home was $181. During this period of time, there were two sub-zero periods. The actual heating bills were lower than the $250 projected cost. This house produces about 36,000 pounds less carbon dioxide than a typical Energy Star certified home. It has a 5-star plus rating, which is the highest rating available. The Prairie Inspired home below offers similar benefits in efficiency. Click on a photo or title for additional images. |

Adding a dormer to an under-the-roof bathroom, doubled the usable space. Refinishing a used claw-foot tub Installing a used claw-foot tub helped the owner afford the stone tile. Simply raising the ceiling cord created a vaulted ceiling and allowed us to install the half-round window which now celebrates a beautiful view.
