Energy-Efficient and Environmentally-Friendly

The studio opened in 1990 with 100 tons of earth on top, supported by ten tree trunks. 

Because of the earth surrounding three walls and the roof, the gallery is exceptionally quiet and insulated from outside noises. Plus, the roof bursts alive with wildflowers in summer, fall, and spring, showcasing nature's artwork.

The gallery employs passive solar heating and cooling techniques to keep naturally warm in the winter and cool in the summer. 

Gallery visitors are often suprised by the steady cool temperature of the gallery in the summer, despite no mechanical air conditioning system. Hardwood trees in front also add cooling shade. While the all-glass southern exposure allows entering sunlight to heat the gallery in the cold winter months, a small wood-burning stove adds additional warmth. 

The privy features a waterless, odorless, composting toilet with an aerating vent to the roof, allowing people to use the facilities in comfortable privacy while saving hundreds of gallons of fresh water per year.
