Buildings that breathe with the land.
We design and pilot affordable structures rooted in local ecology, using natural materials, passive systems, and community labor to lower costs, lower emissions, and raise resilience. Eco Building exists because shelter is foundational, and how we build it determines what kind of world we live in.
What we work on
- Pilot builds with partner communities (community centers, training shelters, demonstration homes).
- Material research: cob, hempcrete, reclaimed timber, and locally sourced alternatives to high-carbon construction.
- Workshops that train community members in safe, code-aware sustainable construction.
- Open documentation of our methods so other organizations can replicate them.
Who it's for
Communities looking for affordable, durable, regenerative structures, and tradespeople who want to add sustainable methods to their work. We partner with co-ops, faith communities, schools, and municipalities.
Get involved
If you're a builder, architect, materials researcher, or community leader, we want to hear from you. Volunteers learn alongside experienced crew on every build.
