“It’s so gratifying to watch someone’s quality of life improve when things are designed well, flow well, and function well. Good design elevates us and adds joy to our daily lives.”
– Paul Linnebach
Well-being and Sustainability
We design homes to be healthy and nourishing places for your body, mind, and spirit. We’ll help you choose materials that are non-toxic and durable, and that support and enhance your well-being.
We also prioritize environmental sustainability through the responsible sourcing of materials and disposal of debris.

About Trees
We use a lot of wood. It’s important to us that it comes from sustainable sources, and we do our part to nourish and regenerate the earth. Mantis donates a portion of our profits to the organization TreeSisters, a grassroots network of women planting over two million trees a year. Check out their work if you’re interested!
