We have been doing green building projects since 1998. Carpistry’s existence evolved as we sought solutions to health issues in Tom’s family.

Tom’s own family home was Carpistry’s first green project in 2000, designed to alleviate his wife’s mold allergies. This is a 2,000 sq ft engineered log chalet on a mountain top in North Carolina, utilizing unused skyscraper parts collected in NYC (such as oversized windows, 8’ doors, slabs of granite, marble flooring, cherry flooring). The house was built as an exercise in mold-free living for $160/sq ft.  A whole house fan on a timer replaced AC by exaggerating mountain breezes and being 6’ in the air on sonotubes insured no basement mold.
