WE ARE NOT going to dwell long on the “before” of this story. We could — this 1968 Bainbridge Island beauty stood sturdily for half a century as a classic paragon of design, craftsmanship and the Pacific Northwest itself — but it is the “after” that weaves inspiring threads of connection, comfort, nature, sustainability and home into a harmonious dwelling unlike any other on the planet.
Officially.
This matchless “after” is called Loom House, the first renovated home anywhere to achieve full Living Building Challenge (LBC) certification, which means it has met seven supremely rigorous foundational standards — “petals”— of sustainability: Place, Energy, Water, Health & Happiness, Materials, Equity and Beauty. (Heron Hall, also on Bainbridge — clearly an island of forward-thinking building and living — is LBC-certified, too, but it was built from scratch.)
