Founded

Material
Raw earth: clay, sand and gravel
Fields
Architecture, design, research

We build with the ground itself, with no cement and no additives.

Our work moves between architecture and design: rammed earth walls and floors, clay plasters, cast lime and gypsum, furniture and objects. Each project starts from the soil of the place and from the hands that will shape it.

We collaborate with architects, designers and institutions to bring earth back into everyday spaces, with precision, restraint and care.
