Lloyd Alter blogged about our Chiwawa River Cabin on treehugger.com today, here:

Lyrical Sustainable Design - a cabin by Rob Harrison

I came across treehugger.com last week. The most clickable site I've come across in ages. Definitely worth a look, for both general inspiration and sourcing of green products and materials.

Nice work Lloyd, and thanks for the post on treehugger!

Updated Website Live

Thanks to the hard work of Work/Study student Sim Wan, our updated web site is up and running!

We've made the big switch away from frames, which will allow visitors to easily bookmark a page and return to it, added a new navigation menu, updated lots of old pages and added several new pages, including one on our design process and another on construction costs. Have a look:
