Building Green in North Carolina? Looking for a new custom timber frame home with artisan craftsmanship? Founded by people who truly love the outdoors, Cottonwood has been building green long before it was the fashionable movement that it is today. We employ green building practices not only for their significant environmental benefits, but also for the undeniable fact that a green structure is a higher quality product. Because building green is such an integral part of our design and building process, we employ our very own renewable resource, "Green" Joe Crocker.
