My passion for creating things with my own hands goes back to the period when I lived in my native country Romania, where being a musician and not being able to afford the instruments I wanted,  I would carve my own from pieces of wood. Later on, while in Canada I discovered the pleasure of modeling (and re-modeling) my own surroundings, thus getting into construction and design.

When I moved in New England in the fall of 1997, I came across one remarkable man, a builder with an impressive eye and creative instinct. That man is Gilles Michaud from Michaud Enterprises, one of my life teachers who encouraged me on my path. I enjoyed worked with him as a finish carpenter until fall of 2001.
In the spring of 2002 I moved to the Hilltowns of Massachusetts and founded "Welcome Home Green Building" out of my desire to respond to the urgent need of "greening" our ways of life and trying to harmonize with Nature, instead of going against it. This is why I eventually came to favour the Passive Solar Design and High Thermal Mass Design for the high efficiency and conservation potentials comparing to other methods. MASONRY HEATERS are a special interest to me since I grew up with them and represents a self reliance and off-the-grid alternative in addition to being more efficient and providing a healthier ambiance.

Based in Western Massachussets, we are a small company dedicated to a more natural and sustainable design. We believe that satisfying our quest for beauty, elegance and comfort, doesn't have to come at the expense of our natural habitat. Each and every one of our actions ought to be in Harmony with the ecosystem supporting life on our planet; Harmony being a key element in everything we do.
