Natural building utilizes building systems and materials that place an emphasis
on sustainability.
Its principles focus on durability
and the use of minimally processed, plentiful, and renewable resources, as
well as recycled and repurposed materials that maintain healthy living environments
and indoor air quality. The architectural design and orientation of the building
maximize passive solar utilization and natural ventilation that will allow
the building to function more efficiently and reduce its operational costs.
WHS also encourages building small footprint homes and applying renewable
energy systems to lessen ecological impact.
Why build natural?

and Social Sustainability. Being stewards to the land and our local,
