O’Brien Residence
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.
