Washington Green Building Companies
Martha Rose Construction
Martha Rose Construction is a member of the "Built Green" program. Our goal is to provide homes that: • Protect the homeowner’s health • Provide high energy efficiency and comfort • Have less impact on the environment. In our homes, you will find that decisions have been made to provide a healthier environment. We use natural building materials such as stone, wood, and wool fiber. All surfaces are low VOC, with no, or minimal, off-gassing. Cabinets, shelving, and insulation are all non-formaldehyde. We install high quality fans and windows. Our homes are constructed to prevent moisture problems. Energy upgrades that we provide include increased insulation, high efficiency heating systems and appliances, and Energy Star windows, resulting in lower operating costs for the owner. A passive solar atrium is often part of the home. Water saving dual-flush toilets, Energy Star fluorescents and dimmable halogen lights are also used. Many materials are grown and produced locally, such as kiln-dried pre-primed cedar siding and wood doors. Bamboo is a sustainable yield crop, and is used primarily for flooring. Metal products such as siding and railings have been recycled from scrap and Richlite, a countertop material, is made from recycled paper. These and other finishes are chosen because they are durable. Other commercially rated products that we use include porcelain floor tiles, hardwood, wool carpet and heavy padding, brick, stone and concrete. In addition to making sound environmental choices in choosing finishes, we also recycle at least 80% of the jobsite waste.

Harrison Architects
All of our work is based in “lyrical sustainable design”: conserving energy and resources, using healthier materials and finishes, reducing long-term costs, and making poetic places. We work with consultants, contractors and suppliers who share our values. This results in a convivial, collaborative design and construction process. We believe design poetics are at least as important as the green materials and techniques we specify. We strive to make places that our clients will love. We look for ways to connect the places we make with the cycle of the seasons - a perfect analog of sustainability and a direct connection to nature. We tune a place to its surroundings by investigating the cultural, aesthetic and spiritual aspects of the site and context. We look for the architectural equivalent of the appropriate “ecological niche” for a given project. Our commitment to environmental and social ethics is reflected in our office management as well as our office itself. Harrison Architects has qualified as a “Distinguished Business in the Green” through King County's Green Works program, which recognizes businesses that are leaders in the effort to prevent waste, recycle, and use recycled products. The design of our office uses many of the materials and techniques we employ in our projects.

I.H.T.W.-LLC.
WE STARTED BUILDING IN 2000 AND FIND BUILDING TO BE BOTH CHALLENGING AND REWARDING. BECAUSE WE ARE A SMALL BUILDER, EACH PROJECT IS IMPORTANT TO US AND OUR CLIENTS SATISFACTION WITH THE FINAL PRODUCT IS VERY IMPORTANT. WE ARE CONCERNED WITH HOW BUILDING EFFECTS THE ENVIRONMENT AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO LESSEN THESE EFFECTS. WE ARE A GREEN BUILDER. GREEN BUILDING IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. GREEN BUILDING IS ALSO SMART BUILDING. EVEN IF YOU TAKE ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS OUT OF THE DECISION MAKING PROCESS, GREEN CHOICES ARE SMART CHOICES.
