What do both design and consulting clients who used Faswall have to say?

"I love my nest, designed by Paula Baker-Laporte and her team at EcoNest Architecture. The structure itself is so beautiful, I feel like I’m living in a temple, and every space in my home calls out for me to inhabit it. After struggling with chemical sensitivities and a moldy old house, my body is finally happy!"

"I hired EcoNest as my healthy home consultants because they understand chemical sensitivity, the construction industry in general and have extensive experience with Faswall.  EcoNest Architecture was able to help me through the daunting task of choosing materials that were safe for me, and when issues arose on the construction site she was able to communicate solutions in terms that made sense."

"We chose to use Faswall to form our exterior. The idea of having breathable walls was so appealing in theory, but the actuality of living in a vapor permeable home is even better. We have ideal humidity environment (even here in Colorado) inside the home and no issues with dust or mold or insects. My temperature remains cooler in the Summer and warmer in the Winter, and the interior feel is cozy, no matter the season. I would definitely build with Faswall again."

"Paula is an amazing professional, always knowledgeable, highly responsive, eager to learn more along the way, always asking just the right question, listening intently, great at working as part of a team and often coming up with creative workable solutions on how to build a house that supports health. I highly recommend EcoNest to anyone embarking on a building journey. We built one of the first Faswall homes in Massachusetts. The resulting home has nurtured us with year-round comfort and has helped me to restore my health."
