Timothy Callahan is a former naval architect and general contractor. He is now in his fifth decade of design-build work, with extensive experience in timber framing and natural residential construction. Since 1995, his work has been focused on the creation of healthy and energy-efficient homes. In an effort to develop a model for a low-carbon and non-toxic living environment, Tim led the design team for the Nauhaus Prototype in 2009; this was the first of 10 permitted hemp-lime projects which he has designed, ranging in size from 1200-9600 square feet. In 2005, Tim co-authored the book with Clarke Snell 'Building Green: A Complete Guide to Alternative Building Methods." Tim lives in Asheville, NC.
