WHAT IS
POURED EARTH?
Poured earth is a technique
of earth building
that uses stabilised earth
in liquid form,
which is then poured into moulds
to create durable earthen walls.
Recent innovations in this technique
combined with a low-tech approach
have led to a break through
in this style of affordable housing.
The system is designed for
the owner-builder and
it does not require
a high level of skill
in order to achieve a building
that is innovative,
sustainable, affordable,
durable, energy efficient,
easy to build and maintain.
