Beyond Adobe Completes First Permitted Adobe Home in Coconino County
FLAGSTAFF, AZ – April 13, 2009 – Beyond Adobe, LLC completed the first permitted adobe home in Coconino County, Arizona in March of 2009. Casa Desierto is a compact, resource and energy efficient adobe home that is sensitive to its owner and surrounding environment.
Constructed mainly of adobe bricks, wood and concrete, the home also features other “smart building” methods such as passive solar design, on-demand hot water, local ponderosa pine, American Clay plasters, low-water fixtures and appliances, local custom cabinetry and recycled furnishings.
Beyond Adobe is an adobe brick maker and green building construction company specializing in earthen-based methods and materials. Beyond Adobe is committed to building with earth – as it is a healthy, sustainable and affordable remedy to the present day “sick home” syndrome associated with common construction methods.
Beyond Adobe has a history of earth stewardship, environmental consciousness and a strong belief in sustainable communities.
