“How can we build a better home?” 

That’s the question that’s been driving Dylan Ochala, who founded Tectonic Design Build in 2019. 

He and his wife, Kelsie Michelson, are on a mission to shift the way we’ve been building homes in relationship with the environment. 

Ochala’s interest in sustainable home building developed from the outside in. He was studying permaculture but found that this holistic approach to creating perennial, food-producing ecosystems stopped at the front door. 

Permaculture didn’t address the home itself at all. That got him thinking. 

“I just saw so much potential of building better homes in taking this holistic approach,” he says. “What does it mean to incorporate the home into the environment and the environment into the home?”

More details in bio.
