bGreen Building Project #1 - North End Kitchen

The spring is almost upon us and at bGreen that means we are gearing up to launch our building brand. We have some really cool concepts that we can't wait to share with everyone. We thought a perfect way to kick off this new bGreen venture would be to start with a project in one of our own homes. So project #1 will focus on changing out the counters in Barry's (bGreen co-founder) kitchen. We are fortunate enough to have a head of building services (Matt) who has 20 years of experience and is LEED AP certified. He knows everything there is to know about home renovation and making it green. In fact, Matt's own home is going to be LEED certified shortly.



Scope of the project:

• Replace Formica counter tops with green alternative (Richlite, Paperstone)



• Replace sink and faucet, adding a water filtration system



• Finish back splash with white subway tile reclaimed from an old project



• Extend existing counter top bar area into living area to create dining and workstation area (Plyboo)



• Recycle old counter tops, sink & faucet (Building Materials Resource Center)

Below is a project introduction video we put together, as well as some rough sketches of the kitchen area and proposed new dining area.  Enjoy, and if you're interested in greening your own home with bGreen, please email us here or call us at 617-910-0880.
