Thoreau's Cabin

The Thoreau's Cabin Recreation project represents a remarkable fusion of historical inspiration and contemporary sustainable design. By leveraging panelized straw SIPS and other natural materials, we are creating an eco-friendly cabin that embodies Thoreau's principles of simplicity, self-reliance, and harmony with nature. Through this project, we strive to inspire and educate individuals about the possibilities of sustainable construction and the potential for living in harmony with the environment.
