This coming weekend we will be joining Greenhaus Architects
& BBE Institute at the Go Green Expo.
Last year's first ever Go Green Expo was a roaring success with a huge array of
eco and organic goodies on show, along with a lovely crowd of people who came
along.
BBE and Verdant will both be presenting talks on Building Renovating and
Dressing your home ecologically.

Verdant

BBE & Greenhaus Architects 2pm
Sunday 9th
Room 2
Verdant
11.35pm
BBE & Greenhaus Architects 3.05pm
BBE also run workshops where you can design your own Eco Home, or you can just
go and get information on the weekend course. I thoroughly recommend this
workshop if you are thinking of building or renovating or even if dreaming of
doing so. It will help put things into perspective, and give you some
alternative ideas to the standard building materials out there. If you
come to the expo and our stand you can go into the draw to win the weekend
workshop for free.
Win two tickets to the Show
Just email us by 9am Friday 7th Nov, telling us why it Feels Good to Go Green
Tickets $10
Or I have spotted coupons for $5 tickets at
Commonsense Organics.

RECENT
PROJECTS
South Coast
An install of curtains and relaxed roller blinds on the South
Coast of Wellington. Hemp lining was used on the back of all the curtains
and blinds. Hemp is naturally UV, mould and mildew resistant. And
of course it comes from a renewable resource.
Kapiti Coast
This client has just finished building her Eco Home on a
beautiful lifestyle block. The house features solar panels and a wood stove, as
well as stunning Rosewood floors, skirtings & architraves that came from a
friend's barnyard stash. I just love visting this client home in its
beautiful serene spot.
In her bedroom she opted for a elegant duck egg blue linen to complement the
intricate wool blanket she had. We lined the curtains in a washable woven
dimout to dim out light for those bright full moon nights.
The client didn't want to block out the light in her entrance,
but wanted to soften the windows and filter the sunlight. We opted
for some simple white linen curtains, made in a way so that if a lining is ever
wanted we can easily attach to the back.
We also updated her wood floor lamp with a new lampshade in the Organic Cotton
& Hemp Seaweed design. The chair (also in the Seaweed) is a
project in progress.
Wairarapa
Late last year we installed a house full of 100% Hemp curtains. Fabric
and lining. This almost completely off the grid, eco home has
been built to the exact size materials come in, meaning there was
very minimal wastage. White washed plywood feature throughout,
along with an exposed concrete wall and floor to capture and store
the heat from the sun.
