Who we are

Solarwise - Natural Building and Design believes in creating energy and resource efficient designs that are built with passion and pride.  In particular, we have been involved with many great straw bale projects around the state and in recent years, we have emerged as a leader of designing and building with straw bales in Colorado.  

 


Timothy "Timbo" Scursso - Owner, Designer, Builder

 

Timbo was born in Connecticut in 1975.  As a young boy, he helped his father, Ralph, build and remodel several residential homes.  He also taught himself how to design and draw through the use of Computer Aided Drafting.  His passion for designing and building brought him to Wentworth Institute of Technology and then on to Virginia Polytechnic Institute of Technology where he studied architecture for three years.  Concerned about how conventional architecture was lacking environmental and social responsibility, Timbo switched his studies to an ecology based education.  He graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Natural Resources. 

 

Educated and experienced in design, construction, and the environment, Timbo's natural progression was to combine all those skills as a natural designer and builder.  He has been involved with the natural building movement since 2000.
