These How to Guides were originally written for homeowners renovating or building. From here, Eco Edition is focused on supporting architects and interior designers who want a simpler, faster way to specify sustainable and healthy materials.
The Eco Edition style stays the same: practical, straight-talking, and independent. No sales pitch. No perfection pressure. Just guidance you can actually use in real projects.
How to Guides will better support:
materials boards and finishes schedules
specification decisions and trade-offs
assessing sustainability claims and spotting greenwashing
client-friendly language you can use to explain decisions clearly
Alongside the weekly Spec Notes newsletter, you’ll also see two regular features:
Greenwashing Translation Service
A breakdown of common spec sheet phrases: what they mean, what they do not prove and what to ask instead.
Material Mugshots
A quick look at materials with a messy past. What went wrong, what we learned and what to watch for now.
If you arrived here looking for homeowner renovation guidance, some older posts may still be useful. Over time, you’ll see more content written for design professionals. You’re welcome to browse, and you can also subscribe to the newsletter if you’d like to follow the shift.
Thanks for being here
