SUSTAINABLE MODERN DUPLEX - EP 1: DEMOLITION + EXCAVATION + FOUNDATION
This is a new Hugo Builds series following the construction of a new sustainable, eco-friendly, fossil-fuel-free duplex house build for our friends. This is a custom, green construction. We will show you the construction process from beginning to end. We started building in August 2023, in Ottawa, Canada.
