Building with earth, by hand

Adobe — building with sun-dried mud brick — is hands-on, patient work, and one of the most satisfying things I do. There is something grounding about making a material from the earth beneath your feet and watching a wall rise from it.

I work on making and laying mud bricks, rendering, and the restoration of earthen structures. It is craft as much as construction: every site has its own soil, its own climate, and its own rhythm to learn.

What you'll find here once it's populated: project photographs, build diaries, and reference documents on technique and materials. The galleries below are ready for images and PDFs whenever you'd like to add them.
