What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

The wall system is designed with very little thermal bridging in the insulation. A thick layer of earthen/clay plasters cover the exterior walls acting along with a cob bench and chimney as a thermal mass heat sink which regulates interior temperature. Local timbers and lumber have been used extensively for timber-framed accents, trim and ceilings. The interior walls are painted with a clay-casein aliz and the interior wood has been stained using shellac. The walk-in shower has tadelakt walls, a Moroccan lime plaster technique which involves waterproofing the plaster through burnishing. Energy bills can be as low as $15/month. (summertime)

Community

New Denver was originally inhabited by the Sinixt First Nation and settled by Europeans in search of silver in the 1890's. Boom and bust followed, some stayed behind and were joined by Doukhobours from Russia. During the 60's it became a haven for American war-resisters and then back-to-the-landers in the surrounding valleys. Outdoor sport enthusiasts, artists and craftspeople all gravitate toward the area, and all these elements are found in the culture of the Slocan Valley
