Super-Green
Take a closer walk-through of our Dawnsknoll project courtesy of Interior Design. Edie Cohen’s article highlights a few of the key super-green components, including the use of mnmMOD’s prefab panel system, a kitchen made of predominantly sustainable bamboo with an island wrapped in a composite of quartz, one of the most abundant materials on Earth. The master bath features wood scraps to form a vanity supporting one of Minarc’s creations: the RUBBiSH sink, made of recycled rubber. The excess materials were repurposed into creating the custom garage as pictured below.
