The Little Woods House

Creating variety and ambiance in a private residence with sustainable and long-lasting tile.

Project Details

With the goal of zero VOC emissions, Green Squared Certified products were chosen for this project.

The Hues tile patterns and subtle color and texture variety provide a nice “cloud -like” experience, so that the eye will not labor on a particular tile pattern.

“Architect Michael Ruetschle, AIA LEED AP, received a Merit Award from the American Institute of Architects, Dayton Chapter, for this design of his private residence. Sustainable strategies employed include specification of building materials with high recycled content and using materials, sealants, and paints with low to zero VOC emissions.”
