Bruce Glenn's story started after diagnosed in 1989 with environmental illness due to exposure to toxic building materials, common in residential homes.
Bruce became impassioned to educate his clients in creating homes, that are healthy, solar and ecologically- sound.
With experience spanning over twenty-seven years of custom residential design & building, his passion for solar design had started in the early 70's with natural adobe built homes, that his grandfather had built in Los Angles California the 30's.
He became one of the first straw bale building pioneers, to build in snow load conditions, completing the first straw bale home in Durango Colorado 1994.
Since then, he has completed over a dozen straw bale custom design and building projects along with dozens of solar consulting, and providing stock plans for owner/builders.
