At Cowhorn Wines—one of the first Demeter-certified Biodynamic® wineries in the U.S.—sustainability is central to their mission. When the winery's original owners, Bill and Barbara Steele, were excited to pursue the Living Building Challenge™ for their new tasting room, we were all in. We achieved the world’s most rigorous green building standard while creating a stunning space that reflects their values. Ready to turn your vision into reality? Let’s make it happen! https://lnkd.in/g9e3hfAd

Have you seen this valuable resource from Mutual Aid Los Angeles about how to support people in response to the recent unprecedented wildfires? (click on the link below, which takes you to a Google Sheet) It’s a powerful reminder of the importance of resiliency action planning—taking steps before a crisis strikes can make all the difference. This has us wondering: Do similar resources exist for other cities? Let’s come together to share and amplify tools that help communities prepare and become more resilient to climate impacts. #ClimateResilience #CommunityAction #WildfirePreparedness #ResiliencyPlanning https://mutualaidla.org/

Let us show you how fun and rewarding the process can be!

As the year comes to a close, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible employees, clients, trade partners, and community members. Your creativity, hard work, and commitment to collaboration have made a huge impact. We wish you all the best for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2025!

Congratulations to Bambuza Vietnam Kitchen & Bar for being named the Top Vietnamese Restaurant of 2024 in the Best of Rose City awards! It was an absolute pleasure working with this amazing family-owned business to enhance their restaurant at Portland International Airport’s Concourse E—a collaboration with Neil Lee at LEEKA Architecture + Planning and interior designer Dyer Studio. If you’re traveling this busy holiday season, make sure to stop by for some healthy, delicious, and comforting Vietnamese food before your flight. It’s the perfect way to fuel your journey!

A big thank-you to author Emily Grosvenor, our amazing clients Liz and John Coleman, and photographer George Barberis for their contributions to this fabulous feature in the Winter issue of Oregon Home Magazine! Emily’s story beautifully highlights Green Hammer’s collaborative and thoughtful approach—whether it’s transforming a long-time residence through a whole-home remodel like this one or creating a custom home from the ground up.
