HANDS ON TECH:
We are excited to have technology, materials and finishes that you can get your hands on to see up close and personal before purchasing or implementing into a project. Often the lack of familiarity with new products is the biggest impediment to adoption. We hope to give everyone an up close and personal introduction to as much sustainable tech as we can get our hands on.
