Start here

Five ways in, depending on how much time you have.

  1. Two minutes. Read the newest Gleanings, our Monday review of the week in building, AI and the wider world. Each item ends with a question.
  2. Five minutes. Read Why a building firm would publish its doubts. It explains what this site is for.
  3. Ten minutes. Pick one argument: keep the old house, solar is not the point here, or a garden will not feed the block.
  4. Whenever you disagree. Go to the Questions. Each one says what would change our mind. If you have that evidence, we want it.
  5. To keep up. Subscribe. One issue a week, nothing else.

What this site is

Studio Viridian is a small Seattle studio that develops, designs and builds homes. We treat each project as an experiment and publish what we learn. This site is where that happens: opinions with sources, questions without answers yet, and a running list of what we got wrong.

What it is not

It is not a portfolio, and it is not selling anything. There are no trackers, cookies or ads. The words are free to copy and adapt.
