Our MISSION STATEMENT is simple: NexGenGreen combines natural materials, the garbage of human civilization, and the physics of nature to create high quality, high performance, affordable off and on grid housing, unique art, furniture and more. We are designing, building, educating, experimenting and funding our vision of a better world for all of humanity in an effort to redesign the environments in which we live, work and play.
WHO WE ARE
NexGenGreen was formed at the beginning of 2017 by creator Matthew Maltz, 6 months after his return from Taos, New Mexico where he studied and built radically sustainable homes in the Earthship community. Being inspired by the people and ideas of Earthship Biotecture, and disappointed by the lack of alternative design in his Architecture education, Matthew set out to create his own unique company. NexGenGreen is a direct response to the construction industry, which in our view is wasteful, disconnected from nature, heavily resource-dependant, and underutilizes alternative designs and materials that could be saving energy, water and money.
