Little Portion Green Ground-Breaking

The Franciscan Earth Literacy Center will be breaking ground this summer (2009) on the construction of their one-and-a-half-story straw-bale Naturally Passive House in Tiffin, Ohio. This project, named Little Portion Green by the Sisters of St. Francis, is a joint collaboration between Ferut Architects and HarvestBuild, and features our Edge-Plus straw-bale wall system. Please check back for dates of informal weekend workshops, as volunteer opportunities will be available once construction begins.

"Humans and their shelters are part of the ecosystem and have a rightful place there, but within limits. Today these limits have long been exceeded in the developed world — well beyond those of sustainability."
