Home design for the sustainable future

By Anna Lockhart. 

In this island neighborhood, eco-conscious design comes first. The perfect solution for a green home? Metal panels! 

Tucked away on Bainbridge Island outside of Seattle, Washington lies the Grow Community – a sustainable and ecologically optimized cluster of neighborhoods designed with the future in mind. As climate change and global weather patterns worsen, it is critical to take into account what the future holds and build accordingly today.  

For those looking to minimize their carbon footprint and prioritize sustainable building and living practices, these homes are the perfect solution. Many residents of the island are of like-minds, aiming to emphasize a healthy lifestyle. Grow Community holds these values at the heart of its mission, and with that in mind, the best building material to bring these visions to reality was metal!   

Under the leadership of Jonathan Davis, architect and Greg Lotakis of Asani LLC, the Grow Community broke ground and recruited none other than Metal Sales to use their 7/8” Corrugated Wall Panels in their home construction projects. A low-maintenance and energy-efficient material, these corrugated panels offer users a high-quality and durable solution without sacrificing eco-conscious principles. As a completely recyclable material, these panels are also ideal for a community that shares recycling as a pillar of lifestyle goals.  

As time passes and generations are born and raised, Grow Community aims to instill and inspire a spirit of health for all residents. And that starts with the home, each material and design choice made with precision and care. Metal offers such solutions, and Metal Sales is a proud supplier of materials for such an ambitious and inspiring residential project of such a scale.
