Natural Building

In harmony with Nature

Inspirational and innovative house designs using natural and local materials that minimize environmental impact. These eco-homes bring you into direct connection with nature and the elements. The principal construction material is Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB), using hydraulic compression to fabricate blocks from earth. Homes build with earth have a high thermal mass – they stay cool in the summer, and warm in the winter, and the walls breathe, so the air and moisture levels are perfect for living.
