Rammed Earth Homes
BEAUTY
The construction of each rammed earth wall is also the creation of a unique work of art. The earthy tones and textures of rammed earth walls create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere like no other. Their natural beauty harmonizes with any landscape, from lush forest to rolling fields, from lakeside to a modern urban oasis.
Each wall's appearance can be customized in terms of colour and striations, allowing for a personalized and curated aesthetic.
Rammed earth’s beauty responds to the play of light, changing as sunlight shifts to clouds, moonlight to dawn, sunset to electrical, from solstice to equinox.
COMFORT
Healthy indoor air quality is a hallmark of our homes. Free from organic materials, rammed earth walls eliminate the risk of mold and toxins, and their unique absorptive qualities leave only clean, fresh, air. Rammed earth is a viable choice for those with respiratory issues, indoor allergies or chemical sensitivities.
Rammed earth’s superpower is thermal mass. This natural property of rammed earth walls provides a consistent indoor temperature, offering unparalleled, year-round, comfort. The hygroscopic nature of rammed earth further helps regulate indoor humidity levels, perfect for Ontario's damp winters and hot, humid, summers. The thick walls are airtight, eliminating drafts.
Rammed earth has an intangible sense of calm. The thickness of the walls creates a sense of security and a connection to the earth. Rammed earth is inherently soundproof yet creates an acoustically rich atmosphere. Whether you seek a peaceful sanctuary or a harmonious space for creative pursuits, rammed earth offers acoustic bliss.
SUSTAINABILITY
Rammed earth takes a bold eco-minded step into the future of home construction. Using natural, local, abundant, subsoils it reduces the energy of processing and transportation, creating almost no waste in the process.
Rammed earth buildings are naturally energy efficient due to their thermal mass and inherent airtightness. This leads to consistently lower operational energy for every season, year over year, century after century.
Rammed earth’s durability is measured in centuries. Its maintenance-free resilience against fire, pests, and weathering eliminate the need for repair or replacement, further minimizing environmental waste.
