Organized Living Products Showcased in Tim O'Brien Homes VISION House Sussex

Organized Living and Tim O'Brien Homes have partnered on Green Builder® Media's most recent VISION House series project, VISION House Sussex. This collaboration showcases the meticulous green practices incorporated into the VISION House Sussex Home, highlighting next-generation, mainstream green homes that are attainable for working-class American families.

These demonstration homes are built around the country and showcase the latest green design and building techniques. Organized Living has featured a full range of high-quality products in these various projects, including fixed wood, adjustable, and built-in storage and organization solutions. The aim of showcasing these products is to demonstrate the significant impact effective storage systems can have on homebuyers' daily lives, especially when it comes to their overall wellbeing.   

Sarah Wise, the Single Family Marketing Director at Organized Living, emphasized the company's century-long commitment to crafting high-quality home products while maintaining a focus on sustainability. "Our sustainability philosophy stems from our core values: Do the Right Thing; Act with Passion; Build Winning Partnerships; Think Long Term; and Learn, Grow, Change, Excel," she stated.  

Tim O'Brien, Founder and President of Tim O'Brien Homes, expressed his role in maintaining their vision and strategic plan while upholding the company's foundational values and culture. He highlighted the significance of storage and organization in home design, stressing the importance of providing functional spaces tailored to the needs of homeowners.  

Organized Living's dedication to durability and sustainability is evident across all its product lines, specifically in its Lifetime Ventilated Wire shelving system featured in the home. The hardware guarantees durability and represents the greenest choice, ensuring the shelving will last a full life cycle. Additionally, its focus on health and longevity extends to its coatings. Unlike vinyl coatings, which emit harmful VOCs, Organized Living's epoxy powder coating provides a durable, non-toxic finish, promoting healthier air quality in the home.  

O'Brien emphasized Organized Living's pivotal role in enhancing the utility and functionality of spaces within their homes. He commended Organized Living's Ventilated Wire shelving solutions, which utilize a baked-on epoxy powder coating, releasing zero harmful VOCs and ensuring minimal environmental impact, which is greatly important to his homebuyers.  

The partnership between Tim O'Brien Homes and Organized Living signifies a mutual commitment to sustainability at every stage of the home building process. From selecting eco-conscious suppliers to implementing innovative designs, both companies are dedicated to minimizing their ecological footprint while enhancing homeowners' living experiences.  

The production of the VISION House Sussex Home serves as a testament to the power of collaboration in driving positive environmental change within the housing industry. As Organized Living and Tim O'Brien Homes continue to pioneer sustainable solutions, they set a precedent for future developments in a new era of eco-conscious living for homeowners across the globe.
