The Willowend Round House
We are building Australia’s first council-approved super adobe earth-bag round house.
We have used several natural building techniques including rammed earth, cob, natural render and, of course, the earth bags. The home will be highly energy efficient, fire retardant and off the grid. It has a low carbon footprint as it has been built from the earth under our feet. It has no timber frame as the super adobe earth-bag walls are fully structural. Visit our Facebook page or Instagram.
