One of the silver linings of COVID is that the pandemic lockdown provided Oregon Metro HQ with the opportunity to evaluate their sustainability practices and environment. Innovations were made to both, resulting in a Platinum LEED certification for this government institution. We will celebrate with a tour, plaque dedication and a rooftop reception.

A community gathering showcasing how local, reclaimed building products and techniques come together in a nature-oriented dwelling (NŌD).
Under warm sunny skies, we broke ground mid-July on our first permitted ADU à la NŌD (nature-oriented dwelling) in Vancouver, Washington. This success is a culmination of years of work by this dedicated Placecraft team and more, along the way.
Our first-of-its-kind wall system is built around our insulation innovation — the StraBloc™ — which combines the carbon-storing, eco-friendly, healthy air qualities of natural building, with the efficiencies of conventional framing. Other natural building materials for this first-of-its-kind, ADA accessible structure include locally sourced insulated perlite and earthen flooring, wood fiber board, reclaimed wood claddings and siding, as well as interior and exterior plaster.
Our system is healthy for homeowners, safe for our workers, empowering for our local community, and gentle on the planet.
