This tour is the perfect opportunity to step right inside some unique buildings, see what they are like, and get honest feedback from the owners about all aspects of their homes. The structures feature many “green” technologies, including adobe floors, composting toilets, greywater recycling, clay plasters, green roofs, natural finishes and more innovations.
