A Little Intro:

Howdy! My name’s Gabe Dominguez and I’m a carpenter & multidisciplinary artist based in Hopewell, NJ. 

 

About Studio Ecotopia Carpentry:
My specific area of focus as a carpenter is non-toxic carpentry, natural building, and home repair. ​I prioritize non-toxic, sustainable, and locally sourced materials to craft custom kitchens, cabinetry, and furniture, as well as to restore, renovate, and remodel wooden structures and living spaces.

 

My journey into non-toxic carpentry began in 2015 when my wife and I were expecting our first child, and I wanted to provide my family with a safe, healthy, non-toxic home. [+full story] 

 

A decade later, my carpentry continues to be inspired by care for people & planet, coupled with skepticism in the status quo.

Studio Ecotopia is insured & bonded in the state of NJ.

 

About Studio Ecotopia Cultural Constructions:

Beyond the durable creations of eco-carpentry, I also love crafting multidisciplinary ephemera (music, theater, community events, etc) that I call Cultural Constructions. 

 

Although these works are more intangible and transient in nature than wooden ones, I still see a structural quality in them.

 

At their best, these Cultural Constructions can act like thresholds: transforming events from sources of amusement, into sources of "aha moments," and transforming audience members from passive observers into stoked co-creators.

 

The thru-line in both my carpentry and cultural work, is the desire to make something useful and beautiful that gives us a peek into what I like to call “ecotopia”.​​​​
