You’ve seen the news reports and read the research, and you’ve realized that most new homes are unhealthy for your family and for the environment. The solvents, paints, synthetic fabrics, and myriad of chemicals used in typical new home construction can create a toxic soup that saps your strength and vitality.

Consider the following:

• EPA studies consistently show that the air in our homes contains significantly more pollutants than outside air.
• 30% or more of new homes have significant air quality problems.
• According to the American College of Allergies, as many as half of all illnesses are caused or aggravated by indoor air pollution , and the New England Journal of Medicine estimates that environmental factors account for 72% of all cancers.
• The average American spends 90 percent of his or her time inside.

You and your family deserve better. At Some Other Place, we build your home using safe, non-toxic materials – which is better for you and for the environment. Every step of the process is designed with one goal in mind: a beautiful, luxurious home that honors your health and wellness while protecting the environment.
