We pride ourselves in working at the intersection of form, functionality, and impact. For each project we are a part of, we carefully calculate the carbon offset of our Carbon Smart Wood™.
How we measure impact
-
Miles undriven
With just one project we can reverse the environmental impact of years of commuting for the average person.
-
CO2ME Carbon Storage
By utilizing what has traditionally been considered “waste wood” we help to sequester CO2ME.
-
Days of Home Energy Saved
The environmental impact of using Carbon Smart Wood to power your home - or just your phone.
-
Gallons of Gas Negated
While we consume an estimated 135.73 billion gallons of gas a year, we’re doing our part to lessen the impact.
The Fin Wall
The Fin Wall, one of our first projects, was crafted from small wood pieces usually discarded in milling. This award-winning feature showcases a system with 264 wooden fins of varying heights, designed to move independently and adapt to seasonal changes. It exemplifies sustainable architecture, where functionality and ecological awareness beautifully coalesce.
Since completing this project, we have diverted 3.4 million board feet of wood from waste streams, sequestered 7,700 MT of CO2e, and established a network of over 235 milling partners.

The Roland Park Deck
Our Roland Park Deck project exemplified our dedication to Smart Cities while lending a touch of natural beauty to the city of Baltimore. The family was initially drawn to the character of our Thermally Modified Red Oak, but ultimately chose Thermally Modified Carbon Smart Wood™ for its natural resilience to the elements during the cold Mid-Atlantic Winters while still being gentle & chemical-free for entertaining their children, family, and friends during the barefoot summer months.

National Geographic
At their new Washington, D.C. headquarters, National Geographic epitomizes their dedication to conservation education not just in their mission but also in their choice of materials. The centerpiece of this commitment is a stunning 16-foot live edge conference table and reception desk, masterfully crafted from locally sourced Fallen Red Elm using Carbon Smart Wood™.
This choice goes beyond aesthetic appeal; it's a reflection of National Geographic's deep-seated commitment to sustainability. By opting for environmentally responsible, locally sourced materials, they not only reduce their carbon footprint but also reinforce their connection to the community. In every curve and grain of the wood, the synergy of purpose and design resonates, making their headquarters a true embodiment of their values.

Room + Board
Graft Collection
Room & Board, a pioneer in contemporary furniture retail, has taken a significant leap in sustainable design with their Graft Collection. Renowned for their commitment to timeless design, quality materials, and exceptional craftsmanship, they are among the first in the industry to embrace urban wood sourcing on a large scale. This innovative approach is exemplified in their unique coffee, side and console tables, each piece telling a story of resilience.
The Graft Collection stands out for its use of reclaimed wood from old orchards, particularly English walnut trees grafted onto the roots of American walnut trees. This distinctive combination results in wood with remarkable color variations, imbuing each table with its own character and history. These coffee tables are not just functional pieces of furniture but also symbolize a harmonious blend of heritage and modernity.
