Gearing Up For Takeoff!

Spring is just around the corner, and here at HAVEN we're gearing up for takeoff! 

Right now, the days (and sometimes evenings) are spent fine-tuning designs, working with interior designers, structural engineers, and the like. You know, crossing t's and dotting i's. It's a lot of paperwork and computer work, mostly 2-D...

But today we got to get our hands dirty in 3-D! 

That's right - today was a great day! We took a little drive to pick up something that really inspires and excites us...

Now, friends, magic is about to happen. 

We've got our first shipping container on site and we'll be...

Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for regular updates. We promise it'll be a fun process!

Flooring For A Healthier Planet & A Healthier You!

In China's warm and moist Anji county - a pilot county for eco-friendly and green construction - over 148,000 acres of bamboo groves thrive. A far cry from the polluted industrial centers, this fresh, bucolic, mountainous region is known for wholesomeness, producing eco-friendly products such as white tea, alpine vegetables and flowers, bamboo shoots, and (you guessed it) beautiful, sustainable bamboo flooring that gets carefully laid inside every HAVEN.

We have chosen to work with Calibamboo as a reliable and ethical source of bamboo flooring, who sustainably harvest their bamboo from well-managed groves in pristine Anji county.

A HEALTHIER HOME

Not only is bamboo flooring incredibly strong and aesthetically pleasing, it's also better for the health of everyone in your home!

Almost all conventional flooring is smothered in toxic volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde. These compounds off-gas into our homes, often getting trapped and continuously circulated into the air we breathe which has been shown to cause serious health problems. A home that makes you sick is definitely not a sanctuary, and therefore not a HAVEN. 

Calibamboo's floor test results rank as "Ultra Low VOC" and in fact, they publish their test results online for the public to see - a level of transparency you won't often come across.  

A HEALTHIER PLANET

Did you know bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth? In can be harvested every 3-7 years without negative environmental impact, making it an endlessly renewable resource. 

Use of Calibamboo flooring is having a great impact on this gorgeous planet we call home.
