Cereza Passive House - How Strong Does Your Foundation Need To Be?
 

What do you need to know to build a foundation for your new home or Accessory Dwelling Unit? In this video, Dave talks to Brett, the Project Manager at our Cereza Passive House, about why the house has a much different foundation than the ADU and why this makes perfect sense, considering the goals for the two buildings are completely different.

Interested to know how to spend your money wisely while building a next-generation home? Watch this video from our "Building a Better Way with Earth Bound Homes" YouTube channel.

Mediterranean Masterpiece: Framing-In Architectural Curves
Mediterranean Masterpiece: Framing-In Architectural Curves

While not a Passive House, this project is stunning for its architecture, designed by Fergus Garber Architects. The new custom house will be an amazing home for our clients and their family, and one of the defining features is the beautiful and strategic use of arches and curves which are seen throughout the home, including this staircase.

However, these amazing architectural elements require craftsmanship and a bit of artistry, as trees usually grow quite straight, and if you want a curve, you have to carefully build it with a lot of pieces of that straight wood.

If you want to know more, watch this video and see how a curve can make "ho-hum" into "WOW! ".
