THE SHOP
Our new shop began as a napkin sketch...and an energy model. Originally a 1901 post-frame, this building has undergone a 4 year long deep energy retrofit. This started with gutting the building and pouring a new foundation. Added to that were deep layers of salvaged foam and cellulose insulation as well as a continuous air barrier membrane. This ultra-efficient workshop is now heat and humidity controlled by a small heat pump.
Ok, so that makes it sound much simpler than it was. For updates of these ongoing renovations, check us out on Instagram.
