Home Alive! Sustainable Model Home
We call our sustainable model home Home Alive! It is a living, breathing, drinking, thinking example of how Canadian homes will be built in the future. It is currently inhabited so that we can show how all the systems and materials work and evolve over time. Come and tour this attractive and revolutionary building. Gain insights on how to build your own or do eco-renovations of a conventional home.
