EcoNest Co.

In 1994, natural building pioneer Robert Laporte and architect Paula Baker-Laporte teamed up to create the EcoNest concept. They have helped hundreds of people to realize their dreams through workshops, seminars, books, design & construction.

What is an EcoNest?
For most of us, our home is our center. It should be a sanctuary that nurtures body, mind and spirit. Sadly, standard homes today are built with little regard for our health or the environment. There are better ways to build; a home can be the focal point for health and sustainability.

The EcoNest is our simple solution. Health, ecology and sustainability begin at home in an EcoNest. These elegant, hand-crafted homes utilize natural building techniques including: timber framing, clay/straw walls, earth plastering and natural, non-toxic finishes throughout. The clay/straw walls of each home are built during a 4-day workshop lead by the EcoNest Building team. See our Portfolio of homes.

The first step to becoming an EcoNest client is to attend a seminar or workshop and to become educated in the natural building system utilized by the EcoNest Building Company.
