Syncronos Design promotes the use of appropriate technology and sustainable design in our built environment. We emphasize the balancing of materials and user requirements with environmental considerations. Our main emphasis is currently on education about sustainable living and energy efficiency. Our Building With Awareness web site, video, and book on green building is part of this venture.
The company was founded by Ted Owens and Rick Perkins - childhood friends from Junior High School. They shared a common interest in motorless flight - sailplanes, hang gliders, paragliders, and radio control sailplanes. If something could be powered by human power, wind, or solar heat, they would be drawn to it.

Constructing a straw bale solar house requires the merging of solar design with alternative building techniques. Books are great for acquiring information on these topics quickly and easily, while videos are essential for showing the actual building methods and techniques firsthand. The Building With Awareness DVD and guidebook brings you the best of what both video and books have to offer.
Inspiration and information on both design and construction techniques. The DVD video has received 3 Telly Awards for production excellence, including Outstanding Multi-media DVD, Editing, and Use of Graphics. The video has the look and feel of a quality broadcast televison program. Seeing the process on video is the best way to understand how a green home is built.

This picture tour features the home in the Building With Awareness DVD and book. Form and function can work together. The metal pitched roof is angled for maximum solar gain for the generation of electricity. In addition, the metal provides a clean surface for the collection of rain water for the cistern.
Here in New Mexico, I have been very pleased with the insurance I have for my straw bale house from Farm Bureau Insurance. A well-designed home has an essence that can be felt immediately. It comes from a variety of sensations-color, the quality of light, the scent of fresh air, the size and height of the rooms, and the quality of sound.
