The most commonly used materials come from right underfoot; clay soil, sands, stones and other aggregates, and various fibers including straw, bamboo and wood. The myriad of building techniques one can blend these materials into is infinite, from super insulated structures, to heavy mass, to light thin walls, depending on the resources and needs of the particular situation. The common techniques we employ are cob, light straw clay, adobe, earthbag, and strawbale, using them to build houses, wood fired earthen ovens, earthen plasters and wall finishes, and earthen floors.
