Nature House® offers a unique combination of quality, ingenuity and affordability.

A Nature House® home is designed to provide everything you would expect from a high quality custom built home with the additional bonus of high energy efficiency and minimal construction time!

Nature House® is a series of plans that can be customized to suit any locale, budget or individual design need. The Nature House® shell is a new, innovative and environmentally friendly housing system.

The structural shell (exterior walls and roof) of the Nature House® consists of SIPs. Each package is structurally engineered for your wind, snow and seismic requirements. The finished panel home is much stronger and more stable than conventional stick framing or steel stud construction.

Nature House® plans offer many size and style options, from small vacation cottages to large custom homes. The exterior can be finished with lap siding, stucco or any exterior finish of your choosing. Our designs are flexible and allow for various interior floor plans.

Nature House® conserves energy and natural resources. The structural shell uses up to 60% less lumber than a traditional stick framed structure.

The oriented strand board is produced from second growth timber, typically 10 year old poplar and aspen, rather than old growth lumber.

The pre-fabricated wall and roof panels can be assembled by two people in a matter of days. No cutting is required. All parts are included and there are no leftovers to dispose of. Minimal framing expertise is required for package assembly. The speed of assembly virtually eliminates problems with theft and weather.

A Nature House® offers high insulation values at a reasonable cost. These houses are airtight with minimal infiltration, using up to 50% less energy for heating and cooling than traditional stick frame construction. The Nature House® package also utilizes high performance dual glazed vinyl windows for additional enery savings.

These designs are perfectly suited to passive and active solar applications. Each house undergoes a thermal performance analysis to compute energy use for both heating and cooling in your climate. We will work with you to develop the most cost effective balance of energy techniques and tailor them to suit your site and climate.
