Our Story

The "Green" in Green Pirogue

Using antique architectural materials in new construction is sustainability in its most authentic form.

Long before sustainability was a marketing term, these materials were built to last. Old-growth lumber, hand-forged iron, solid stone, and century-old doors have already proven their durability through generations of use. Reintroducing them into new homes preserves the energy, resources, and craftsmanship already invested, rather than extracting and manufacturing something new.

Unlike modern materials, antique elements require no additional mining, milling, or mass production. Their reuse significantly reduces waste, lowers embodied carbon, and keeps irreplaceable materials out of landfills, all while adding depth, warmth, and character that cannot be replicated.

True sustainability does not mean compromise. It means choosing materials that have endured, honoring their history, and allowing them to continue their story in a new setting. When thoughtfully integrated, antique materials create homes that are environmentally responsible, architecturally rich, and unmistakably one of one.

About Us

We believe that timeless design begins with a story. We source architectural antiques that carry history, craftsmanship, and soul. Each piece is carefully selected to evoke emotion and inspire a connection to the built environment.

We take great pride in preserving history and facilitating the integration of enduring, high-quality materials into today’s construction projects. By reintroducing timeworn architectural elements into modern spaces, we aim to bridge the past and present with intention and authenticity. At the heart of our work is a commitment to sustainability, a purposeful response to the increasingly unsustainable practices of our built environment.
