Oram Miller, BBEI, has participated in the design and construction of numerous building projects, both locally in the state of Minnesota and around the country.

Most of the projects are individual residences where Oram works closely with the new homeowner, their architect, builder and subcontractors. Recommendations are provided at the design stage and at all phases of construction to help create a healthier home.

Oram is currently working on several residential building projects in the Twin Cities and throughout Minnesota, neighboring Wisconsin and elsewhere in the country. For more information on these services, click here.

Oram is also working with developers of large scale projects who wish to build healthy living and work spaces.

Examples include the following:

Le Parisien Flats and Market Place, Minneapolis, Minnesota


Le Parisien Flats and Market Place is a mixed use five story condominium project located at 2301 Lyndale Avenue South in Minneapolis. Incorporating European design, the developers are using the principles of Building Biology and Feng Shui to create a healthy and holistic environment for occupants.

The design is eco-friendly, making use of water conservation, acoustic engineering, and renewable resources and principles. The roof will be solar-ready for the addition of passive solar heating panels and photovoltaic electric panels in the future.

Each of the thirteen condo units will feature Building Biology principles such as wood floors with in-floor radiant heat, green and non-toxic building materials, cross ventilation, and there will be no common hallways. A healthy wiring protocol is being followed to reduce occupant exposure to harmful electro-magnetic fields.

Completion of Le Parisien Flats is expected in Fall 2006. Developed by Mark Dziuk and Steve Johnson of Velocity Investments. Call 612-548-4848 for more information.

Mandala Club, Vero Beach, Florida

Mandala Club is a 90 unit residential community on the east coast of Florida in Vero Beach. Single family villas, cottages and estate homes as well as condominium units will be available, all built according to the priniciples of Vedic Green Design and Building Biology.

Vedic Green Design is based on Vastu, the ancient building practice of India brought to light in recent times by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Vedic Green Design incorporates principles known throughout the ages to promote better health and success in life. All homes in Mandala Club are designed to be energy-efficient, ecological, and non-toxic.

Oram Miller, BBEI, along with his mentor and colleague, Spark Burmaster, has worked with the developers to create a low-EMF environment in each of the Mandala Club homes that is as "electrically and magnetically clean" as possible, based upon the prinicples taught by Building Biology.
