The Maker
Todd Wittemann
From fine arts student to sustainable building innovator, Todd Wittemann has spent nearly two decades mastering the craft of plaster and natural finishes. What began as an informal apprenticeship with a local plasterer evolved into a thriving business and a passion for alternative building techniques—particularly strawbale, hempcrete, and hemplime construction. After working on naturally-built homes across the country and witnessing firsthand how these materials create healthier living spaces, Todd became committed to democratizing these techniques for conventional homes. Today, he specializes in applying and teaching natural lime finishes that bridge the gap between sustainable building and mainstream construction, training others to bring eco-conscious craftsmanship to their projects.
Our Process
From raw earth
to living surface.
Consultation
We begin with a deep understanding of your vision, substrate conditions, and desired aesthetic. Every project is unique; every conversation begins with listening.
Material Specification
We select the precise lime formulation, aggregate blend, and pigment palette. Sample panels are prepared and cured on-site to ensure the finish meets your expectations in your light.
Artisan Application
Our craftspeople apply each coat by hand, building depth and character through time-honored techniques. There are no shortcuts — only patient, skilled labor.
Cure & Commission
Lime finishes cure over 28 days, gaining strength and beauty as they carbonate. We monitor the process and deliver a surface that will endure for generations.
Begin Your Project
The first step
is a conversation.
Share your vision and we'll guide you through material selection, finish specification, and project planning — from the initial consultation to the final burnish.
