Rammed Earth is earth excavated from the building site that is reinforced with a small amount of dry Portland cement, moistened, and then placed into forms to develop a bold and timeless building envelope or element. We have found no substitute for the aged, grounding and visceral quality of this native material. Take away the Portland cement and the pneumatic tampers and this technology has been used for thousands of years throughout the world in indigenous structures.
Beyond the innate beauty of this material, its shear mass creates a thermal storage system that acts to mitigate temperature swings to create a clean and ultra comfortable source of heating and cooling for indoor space.
