“A great building must begin with the immeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed, and in the end must be unmeasured.”
– Louis Kahn, one of the Greatest 20th Century US Architects
Our retiree volunteers helped install all of the doors and windows.
JB Metals did a fantastic job on the metal roof!
Thank you to all of those on the Exovations team that made this huge siding project a reality! This mission wouldn’t be possible without incredible partners like Randall Brothers and James Hardie, whose generous donations of building materials are bringing Northern Star’s new 9-bedroom residential facility to life! Together, we’re not just building homes-we’re building hope.
With every board, beam, and nail, this home is becoming a safe haven for young adults seeking stability, growth, and opportunity. And we’re getting so close to the finish line!
