Still passionate about natural building after all these years!

Our understanding of what is ‘natural’ building has evolved during the past two decades. We have refined our process of experimentation and evaluation, as we have built our two homes together. We have tried to make both homes beautiful and comfortable, as well as healthy environments to live and work within. Welcome to our natural building journey.
