Why build with natural materials?
By creating buildings using natural materials, we work with the local ecology, geology and climate, supporting nature's processes rather than resisting them. There are many practical reasons for building a natural house. Many people have wished for an alternative to conventional construction that can so often be soulless, economically enslaving, and unhealthy. Natural building addresses all these concerns to create structures that are in tune with the needs of humans and the Earth. |

Because natural structures are designed and built in tune with the
seasons, people who live in them can have a closer connection with nature's
cycles. Natural buildings also help to preserve nature, as appropriate
design and sensitive collection of building materials can combat deforestation,
reduce the need for mining, and reduce pollution. Recycling of materials
from other projects helps to protect nature as well. The ideal natural
house would give back more than it takes, its construction and very
presence restoring the land to a better state. And when the house has
reached the end of its life, it can decompose and return to the earth
again. |
