They invited a bunch of hands out recently to help turn their stash of reclaimed earthen materials into a massive rammed earth wall that will sit just inside a solarium-style corridor that opens up via Nanawalls onto a south facing courtyard. The result: a heat sink in a mountain climate, in the middle of the home, made from the red dirt that the home sits on.
I have a lot of praise for this project so expect to hear more about the construction as the progress moves along-- and of course, many cheers to Alan and Birgit for having the solid sensibility to build something so grounded.
This last image is just a sneak peak: That is steel stair tread embed about to be encapsulated in concrete. Everyone loves a cantilevered stair-- am I right?
