We play with earth
Grond Studio works with raw earth.
A Brussels based practice founded in 2020, shaping clay, sand and gravel into architecture, interiors and objects.
No cement, no additives. Only the ground, worked by hand and by press.
What we do
Materials & techniques01
Rammed earth
Walls, floors and monolithic elements made from compacted layers of local soil.
02
Clay & earth plasters
Hand applied finishes that regulate humidity and carry the colour of the ground.
03
Cast lime & gypsum
Cast pieces and surfaces, from stools and lamps to sculptural objects.
04
Furniture & objects
Tables, seats and modules where earth meets wood and other natural materials.
05
Interior architecture
Earthen interiors for homes, shops, bars and hotels, designed with partner architects.
06
Material research
Soil tests, mixes and prototypes to find the right recipe for each place.
Earth is not a style. It is a way of building with what is already there.

A selection
of our work
All projects
How we work
Slow, local and honest from soil to surface.
We work with matter, not narrative
Every project starts from the soil on site, its colour, its grain and what it can carry.
Technique, not doctrine
Rammed, pressed, cast or plastered: we choose the method that fits the place and the brief.
Process, not artifice
What you see is what it is made of. No cement, no additives, nothing to hide.
