What does "Going Green" mean?

According to the US Green Building Council -
Design and construction practices that significantly reduce or eliminate the negative impact of buildings on the environment and occupants.

We at Graeber Design understand that more and more consumers are becoming environmentally conscious, they are seeking to find ways to create green spaces at home. And anyone can do it. It is all in the sustainable materials you select. Even if your home isn't architecturally green friendly, your interior can be.

The goal of sustainable design is a lesser impact on the environment. Our goal is to work with you the client to determine what can be done in your home to ensure the following principles: recycle, reclaim/reuse, non-toxic, and sustainability.

There are various materials now available that can help homeowners become more environmentally responsible. Sustainable materials include flooring made from bamboo, cork, bark, and reclaimed hardwood, VOC-free paint (paints which that do not release significant pollutants) and furniture/woodwork constructed from wood certified by the Forest Stewardship Council.

So if your wanting your home's interior to be a healthier, more Eco Friendly space, we hope you'll allow us to help you achieve that goal.
