O’Brien Residence

Posted by Devin on Aug 15th, 2009 | no comments

Green Building Specialist Mike O’Brien and his wife Vana created a beautiful new home on an infill lot in North Portland. The house features natural materials throughout, including clay floors, a cob wall, and clay plasterwork and paint. Cozy spaces alternate with open areas in an unconventional floorplan. Kitchen cabinets were crafted from used cabinets and salvaged fir. Thanks to solar and wind power, the O’Briens’ house is carbon neutral.

Ecoroofs Everywhere provided project management services.

Lonnie Currier called us to have us bid a greenroof restoration.   What sets this one apart is the original install dates back to the 1970’s!  Lonnie’s dad was a real do-it-yourselfer.  He used sand as a drain layer and native soil from the back yard.  He waterproofed it himself with what we call a [...]
