FEATURE PROJECTS
These completed and in-progress projects highlight the environmental and economic benefits of relocating and reusing existing homes, demonstrating that salvaged houses can serve as sustainable, affordable alternatives to new construction.
Each example illustrates how homes—ranging from charming character houses to modern bungalows—have been successfully relocated and repurposed in new communities. By saving these homes from the landfill, we not only reduce material waste and carbon emissions but also provide viable housing solutions that help meet the growing demand for affordable housing. These projects serve as powerful examples of how thoughtful home repurposing can benefit both the environment and local communities.
