WELCOME TO NICHOLSON AND SUN

As our name acknowledges, at our core, our company was formed to address our planet’s relationship with the Sun. We are not a building company that adds on green features, we are a “green company” that has chosen to build homes, because that is where we think our talents can have the greatest impact in helping curb climate change. While we know that there are many environmental offenders involved in home construction and subsequent home usage, we prioritize, addressing those connected to greenhouse gases, solar power, and energy efficiency. Armed with this approach we build our homes from the foundation up utilizing innovative techniques and design, carbon conscious materials, and state of the art, energy saving technologies, to create the best houses on the planet and for the planet!

SERVICES OFFERED

Design and Build

We design and build custom, green, healthy homes that are integrated with their natural terrain, and capture the tastes, needs, and goals of the client, while delivering a positive impact on the planet.

Net-Zero & Green Built Platinum Certification

We are the leading Net-Zero Certified building company in Asheville NC.  We believe this to be the highest standard of construction, so we now only build new homes that are Net-Zero certified, to further deepen our expertise and company’s purpose.  A benefit of our approach is that we easily can achieve Green Built Platinum Certification.

Net-Zero Additions & Retrofit Renovations

We design and build highly energy efficient additions that can be assimilated into your existing home.  We can tackle a house in any condition and rebuild it so that it receives that highest level of WNC Green Built certification, while producing the updated look that you desire.

GREEN PATH COMMONS

Together we can turn one of these sites into the green home that fits you best.
