This website is dedicated to the exploration of alternative house building methods and sustainable living.
Building with Earth is a philosophy of working with the planet Earth when constructing a building to maximize efficient use of energy, minimize detrimental environmental impact, and establish a sacred connection between the builders and the land.
There’s been a great resurgence of interest in the past few decades in alternative building methods, some of which have been used for thousands of years in some parts of the world. Not only are old methods being explored, refined, and adapted, but new methods altogether are being created. This is not about wanting to live in the past, but about seeing what can be done in the 21st century to create affordable, environmentally balanced, and beautiful homes.
