We will be kicking off 2020 with an incredibly interesting and exciting workshop, which marks the beginning of the Green House build at Narara Eco Village on the Central Coast.

Hayden from Curvecture will guide you through everything you need to know about building with Super Adobe or Earth Bags.

The Green House is a very intricate, interesting home designed by owner builder Linda Scott and Integrated Biotecture’s Architect, Will. It Involves a throng of natural building techniques, and incorporates SuperAdobe in around 1 third of the building.

The building is ultimately divided into three sections, spread across a very sloped site. It begins with a Strawbale octagonal main section at the top of the slope, weaving down into a central light-earth and cob Greenhouse section, and finalizing in a submerged, double level earth-bermed SuperAdobe buried Art Studio! We, of course, have been enlisted to share our knowledge and skills with SuperAdobe, and to run the first of many assorted technology workshops, to get things rolling.

• Theory on all Natural Building Techs
