So for the first time in over 16 years, Originate is venturing on a new path. If you had told me in January that we would open an e-commerce site, I would have laughed. But everything changed in March. More people are shopping online as they stay home. We are starting with about 20 products. I have been dreaming about a rammed earth wall between the main building and the metal building, the construction crew named ‘The Barn'. It would enclose the patio between the two buildings on the west side to create a courtyard.
Originate was established in October of 2003 to provide a location within the City of Tucson to serve as a local and regional source of environmentally sound building materials and to provide a place where people can see and experience these materials. We are located in the Dunbar Spring Neighborhood. Originate is a natural building materials showroom that specializes in interior finishes that are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, durable, and made from natural, renewable, and recycled resources.
ECOfusionspecializes in manufacturing new modern bamboo flooring, strand woven, hardwood flooring, strandwoven bamboo, as well as dyed and stained bamboo. ECOfusion specializes in creating beautiful floors that are environmentally friendly. All products used in the strandwoven hardwood are made from 100% post-industrial recycled materials. ECOfusion takes added efforts to ensure the quality of their flooring products by eliminating the use of volatile organic compounds. Moso bamboo which is the prime ingredient in ECOfusion's bamboo flooring products is also a rapidly renewable resource.
Originate staff members are trained and experienced in multiple disciplines, including architecture, construction and interior design. In addition, we have a LEED AP in New Construction on staff. Contact us today to let us know how we can help you on your next creative project. Originate provides creative consulting for a range of projects involving planning, remodeling and/or new construction. During a site visit or showroom appointment, we work with clients to identify project objectives and desired outcomes.

Originate is proud to stock a limited number of beautiful Vetrazzo and IceStone recycled glass countertops for your smaller renovation needs.
Friday show and tell! @torzosurfaces makes architectural surfaces from recycled wood materials and agricultural by-products. Made from materials like durum, hemp, denim, wood waste, and sorghum and then infused with an acrylic resin for extra durability. Pretty neat stuff!
