Designing Healthy, Natural Homes with Paula Baker-Laporte

Regenerative Real Estate Podcast
Written By Neal Collins (he/him)

Paula Baker-Laporte is an author, architect, and visionary. She has been named one of the top 10 green architects in the US and is a principal at EcoNest Architecture.

When Paula found herself getting chronically ill she discovered that it was her home that was the cause. She then went on to integrate non-toxic building materials into her work in order to help her and others with chemical sensitivities live in healthy atmospheres.

She and her partner Robert Laporte founded EcoNest Architecture, which goes beyond just non-toxic materials but integrates design and nature to help people rejuvenate.

This is one podcast episode that you do not want to miss and you will be glad that you tuned in.
