SELECTED PROJECTS

West Side Hood River Home: In 2007, the old farmstead residence was deconstructed and some of the lumber set aside for the new residence. Designed by Paden Prichard and constructed by Green Home Construction, Inc., this 2300 sq ft residence features beautiful arts and craft styling, recycled Douglas fir interior trim, energy efficient lighting, FSC certified lumber, a recycled “eco-slate” roof, a geothermal heating/cooling system and an Energy Recovery Ventilator. See more photos.

Snowden Straw Bale Home: Situated on 30 acres in Snowden, WA, this straw bale home was designed by and is currently under construction by Green Home Construction, Inc.  It was purposely designed from the beginning to maximize the use of solar energy.  This energy efficient natural home features a post-in-beam structure in-filled with 18" thick straw bale walls. The resulting super-insulated core will be able to maximize the use of passive solar heating in the winter and keep the home cool in the summer. Pictures show the friends and volunteers who came out to help at the bale party. Green Home Construction, Inc. is currently readying the bales for plaster.

Mosier Straw Bale Home: This 2200 sq ft straw bale home was designed and built by Green Home Construction, Inc. It features a passive solar design, super insulation, advanced framing techniques, extensive use of recycled building materials, rain water collection system, super insulated windows and many other sustainable features.

Mosier Town Homes Pool: This pool and exercise room was designed by Surround Architecture and built by Green Home Construction Inc. Key features include: Passive solar design, energy efficient lighting, solar pool heating, no volatile organic compound (VOC) paints and Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified lumber.
