Yes, the exterior siding is made from recycled materials, the roof of recycled metal and the floors of reclaimed wood. And there are dual-flush toilets (that will each save 6,000 gallons of water annually) in the five bathrooms of the CharityWorks GreenHouseopening Saturday in McLean.
Here are some photos from the event.
The CharityWorks GreenHouse is being staged in the CO2FreeLiving house, a custom-built, carbon-neutral house located in McLean, Virginia. The house showcases a new approach to sustainability whereby more efficient building design, innovative technology, and a smart location are combined to reduce carbon emissions, the leading source of greenhouse gases.

The Conversation Table will be integrated by designer Ernesto M. Santalla in the Spa Retreat.
The opening is October 10. If you’re in the DC area - check it out!
I’m packing these up to ship to Chicago for the show.

I have a deadline for this project now. I’m going to be showing a few pieces in a Chicago gallery this summer. More details on that later - after I sign contracts and stuff.
This week’s progress: The cardboard Conversation Table is now made of cardboard (with a high recycled content) and hardboard (made from compressed secondary wood fibers - formaldehyde-free, resin free). It’s also now sandwiched between two protective layers that have a nice textured face. This weekend I’m making new, final master templates for jigs to finalize processes with my guys.
Here are some photos of the new little section I made tonight to test all the changes:
I finally revisited this cardboard wall shelf. I just simplified it - got rid of the huge middle block and updated the improved the mounting situation.
I wanted to design a simple, functional, flat-packed, cardboard gift to send out to friends of LKD. After designing/building a few prototypes of bookends and other ideas, I decided to go this route…it’s a book holder… you may have been lucky enough to receive one of these to assemble on Christmas morning… I sent out 16, I think.
