Purpose-designed homes for those that matter most.

I'm a devoted father and a passionate DIY renovator, on a mission to renovate our 1958 Santa Barbara home.

Certified by the Passive House Institute, my aim with this channel is to outline the renovation process,

"Approaching Passive" is more than a channel; it's a commitment to demystifying sustainable renovations, focusing on approaches that ensure longevity, sustainability, and a home tailored for the people who matter most in your life.

Your questions and comments fuel our journey, and I'm here to engage and empower a community passionate about creating a home for the people in your life who matter most.
