ABOUT US

Natural & Zero Net Energy Home Design

Christopher Vlcek has been serving customers in the Berkshires and Columbia County for over 20 years. In younger days working as a partner in Small Building Company he gained an intimate appreciation for craftsmanship and project management first hand. Practicality and constructability brought into balance with a healthy spirit of invention. Our focus is on the narrative of dwelling, the function and feeling of places. Natural and traditional materials connect us to the earth and history. Energy efficiency strategies provide a timeless sense of conservation. We offer a range of services that can be tailored to specific project needs. Licensed in Massachusetts and New York State.
