Rincon Mountains Rammed Earth
and Scoria Residence
Located in a remote rural setting, this residence incorporates Scoria, a lightweight, insulated cindercrete, and Rammed Earth as its primary exposed building materials, as well as a thoughtful mix of other earthen materials; steel, wood, glass and native stone. This home has been designed to function completely off the grid for all resource needs; water, electricity and gas, and is likely to be the first home to incorporate exposed Scoria and a solar electric system tied to hydrogen fuel cell technology.
