Phinney Ridge House
via BLIP Design
In the end the project was a success because the demographic that was interested in the house (the owners that bought it, along with others) said it stood out from other projects because of the extent of green-ness incorporated into its design and construction. Builders in the Seattle area often market their homes as “green” because they have 1 or 2 sustainable “features,” but the Phinney House is sustainable throughout, and the FSC-certified wood used in it was an important part of that.

In additional, all cabinets are constructed of Columbia Forest Products’ EcoColors, and FSC-certified particleboard core with a zero-emission UV cured acrylic finish. Cabinet doors and drawer fronts are FSC-certified Europly, as are all the interior slab panel doors.
In total, FSC-certified products comprised 40% of all wood used on the project.
