Architects and homeowners alike are warming up to rammed earth construction thanks to the natural material’s many advantages such as superior thermal mass, temperature and noise control, and durability. It’s also a relatively affordable material that lends a lot of versatility to any project.

To create a unique structure, the architects used rammed earth to construct the south and east walls of the structure. Starting with a wooden framework, dense layers of soil were packed into the frame until solid wall walls were formed.

Undoubtedly located in an idyllic setting, Wyoming is also known for its harsh winters. Using rammed earth for this project ensures that the building will have a high thermal mass, providing thick insulation for cold winter months, as well as adding longevity and resiliency to the stunning building.
