Low-VOC Paints & Finishes
VOCs are the chemicals conventional paints and finishes release as they cure, long after the smell of a fresh coat fades.

A remodel is the one moment you choose everything that goes into your walls. We build for the people who ask what's in them.

Non-toxic home remodeling in Austin is a small world, and the clients who ask for it have usually done the reading. You won't need to convince us. This page is for you.

Six categories, each presented during design with certifications named and priced as separate line items.

Flooring covers more surface area than any other finish, which makes it the largest single emissions decision in a remodel.

The research on long-term EMF effects is still developing, and we won’t pretend otherwise. What we can say – lowering exposure where you sleep is straightforward when it’s decided before the walls close.

Wool is one of the few building materials that improves the air rather than just leaving it alone.

Sealed containment and HEPA filtration protect your air during construction on every project. A non-toxic build carries that thinking past move-in day.


Biophilic design is the practice of building nature into the architecture itself. The research behind it is unusually strong, and it’s the one part of a healthy home you can see.
Non-toxic materials are not a separate track or an add-on. They're chosen during the design phase alongside every other selection, with certifications named and prices in front of you.
In your consultation, name what matters most: air quality, flooring, EMF, all of it, or one thing. That conversation sets the brief for design.
During design, we present options based on what you told us you care about, with certifications named and emissions data noted. Each is priced as its own line item.
Every selection is documented in the plans and priced into your fixed contract before construction begins. By the time a wall opens, the material decisions are made and ordered.
Tell us what matters most. Straight answers and real prices, before you commit to anything.
Travis HeightsAfter a $15K surprise from a past contractor elsewhere – she planned this one with Enso instead: kitchen, laundry, baths, and a skylit office, each room with its own character, priced clearly before demo.
Five years in a classic home with a big open layout, then a complete refresh in organic California-Santa Fe style: sage cabinets under Taj Mahal quartzite, a lime plaster hood, and terracotta floors.
Westlake HillsThe design phase exists to find problems before demo begins. If something slips past us, we make it right at our expense.
