Natural plaster specialist, Erica Ann Bush

With a Cornell Architecture Degree focusing on Passive solar Strategies and 13 years in the field as a contractor using natural wall systems, Erica brings a wealth of knowledge to your project. Her practice combines ethics and artistry with the walls of your home as every building she touches ‘has a special glow’. Building homes which are as healthy as they are beautiful, they can improve your indoor air quality, sequester carbon and be sourced locally, in addition to being velvety smooth and stunningly beautiful. No project is too small and no vision is too grand—Day One Design always strives to put the client first and find a way to make sure their priorities are heard.
