A North Carolina-based, Sustainable Design/Builder for all your quality, custom-home remodeling needs. Expert builders and fine artist team performing innovative, energy efficient, and affordable Green Construction for over 25 years.
Solar Wind Designs (SWD) specifies green/sustainable, energy efficient building techniques in the design phase of each project. The basic requirement for any device or building technique has been that any additional cost above standard construction must be paid back in a period of 4-5 years or less. SWD has been involved in building and installing these devices and techniques from the business’ inception, over 20 years ago. Specifications are optimized for low toxicity, sustainability, lifecycle costs, recycled content, local source of origin, and inherent energy efficiency.
We use “closed loop: sustainable building practices. The ideal is to create a near zero-waste supply chain that completely reuses, recycles, or composts all materials. Materials salvaged during the demolition phase are routinely recycled back into new construction whenever possible. Water based low toxin finishes, caulks, adhesives, paints and stains are used routinely by SWD in all phases of construction. Veneered plywoods are green or sustainably sourced to avoid toxic outgassing and ensure products come from verified sustainable forests. SWD strives to ensure that its products and projects have the lowest environmental impact possible. When selecting materials for SWD’s cabinet shop, the “greenest” products are always prioritized. SWD performs high end residential remodeling and built-in cabinetry for mid-range prices. We now also specialize in furniture restoration, custom furniture design and fabrication, and fine furniture finishes. SWD’s clients are always impressed by the superior quality they receive for the cost.
