Water is one of our most precious resources, and in California we feel that reality every day. A greywater system — which redirects water from showers, sinks, and laundry to irrigate your landscape — is one of the simplest, most impactful ways to close the loop in your home.
At Traditional Craftworks, we like to think of greywater as an old idea brought into the present: using what you already have, designing with care, and letting your home work in rhythm with the land.

When we give materials a second life, we honor their history, reduce waste, and build homes that reflect a deeper respect for the planet.
Read MoreEvery home tells a story through the materials it’s built with. Walls, floors, and finishes aren’t just surfaces — they affect how you breathe, how you feel, and how your home connects to the world outside.
Choosing natural, non-toxic materials is more than an aesthetic choice. It’s about creating a space that supports health, longevity, and the environment we all share.
Read MoreWe often think of fresh air as something outside, but the air inside your home matters even more. It’s where you spend most of your time, where you and your family sleep, and where your body restores itself.
Indoor air health isn’t just about opening windows or buying an air filter. It starts with how a home is built: the methods, materials, and details that shape the air you breathe every day.
Read MoreComfort in a home is about more than shelter from the elements. It’s in the steady warmth on a winter morning, the cool quiet of a summer afternoon, and the way fresh air flows without drafts or noise. Efficiency is the hidden layer of design that makes a house truly livable — and it’s one of the most important parts of how we build.
Drawing inspiration from Passive House principles, we focus on airtight construction, deep insulation, and healthy air exchange. The result? Homes that are efficient, resilient, and comfortable every day — while dramatically cutting energy use and carbon emissions.
