Mission

Our Mission

Pensmore is a large residential chateau under construction in the Ozark mountains between Springfield and Branson, MO. But it is much more than that, for Pensmore represents what we believe will be a practical application of new technologies to bring to life a modern version of the Jeffersonian ideal of the self-sufficient sustainable estate.

At a time when traditional energy sources have become increasingly expensive and unreliable, Pensmore seeks to implement and showcase a variety of cost-effective, cutting-edge, green building technologies with immediate practical application in the real world. Some of its features include:

Very low, near net-zero energy consumption
•Extreme disaster resistance to tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, fire, flood, insect damage, etc.
•Low maintenance requirements
•Durability measured in centuries, not years
•Scalability across a multitude of applications from small residential structures to commercial buildings

Pensmore is offered as a guidepost for the design of cost-effective, sustainable structures into the future.
