New Frameworks

About New Frameworks

New Frameworks is a climate-positive, worker-owned cooperative based in Vermont, building homes that store more carbon than they emit during construction. Founded on the principle that buildings should be part of the climate solution, the company uses locally sourced timber and plant-based insulation materials — including prefabricated straw bale panels — to create high-performance homes with net-negative carbon footprints. Their designs combine timber framing with modern building science, featuring carbon-sequestering wall assemblies, airtight construction, and thoughtful passive solar design. Their Casitas line offers compact, low-impact ADU solutions. New Frameworks serves clients throughout Vermont and New England, prioritizing environmental responsibility without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
