We have been working with an amazing local designer, Jill Najnigier of JN Interior Spaces and builder, JC Donald on a beautiful Net Zero Project in Orleans. The project was recently featured in New England Home and we wanted to share a little more on the design and construction process of this new construction energy efficient home.
